The extension was given mainly because of technical glitches on the income tax portal. Many people faced login failures, slow loading, and issues while uploading their forms. Since lakhs of taxpayers depend on the portal in the last days, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) had to extend the deadline to reduce public pressure and avoid errors.
