ITR Filing Deadline Extended: Taxpayers Can Now File Income-Tax Returns Until September 15, 2025
The CBDT has extended the ITR filing deadline for AY 2025-26 from July 31 to September 15, 2025, giving taxpayers extra time to adjust to updated forms and systems.
In a significant relief to taxpayers, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the due date for Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for the Assessment Year 2025-26. Returns that were due by July 31, 2025, will now be due by September 15, 2025. The decision was made based on noting the significant changes that were made to the ITR forms this year, as well as updates to the system and better reflection of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) credits. The extension is aimed at allowing taxpayers and tax professionals further time to adjust to the new filing process and accurate filing. A formal notification outlining the extension will be issued soon. The extension is seen as a welcome decision by many, especially salaried individuals and small businesses, and primarily because they depend on up-to-date TDS data and the system-generated prefilled return forms for their returns.
