whether this is for all individuals or only to whom e-filing is compulsory... could u pls reply soon.
for all
for all
is the extension applicable for all assessees or only "SUCH" assessees who are liable to mandatory e-filing
Looks as if it is for all in general and not only for those who have to file e-return compulsory. The cause given as "disturbance to general life due to power failure" in general covers everybody. :)

The Extension is all kind of assessee who is required to file the return of income on or before July 31, 2012.
This is only for those person who are mandatory to file income tax return through efiling like a person having total income exceeding 10 lacs in a financial year.
