Govt extends deadline for filing ITR till Sept 15
TIMES NEWS NETWORK 28.05.2025
New Delhi : The income tax department has extended the deadline for filing of tax returns by individuals from July 31 to Sept 15 in the wake of several amendments to the law, which have necessitated revisions in the notified ITRs for this assessment year, requiring the authorities to rework the technology platform, among other things. “The notified ITRs for Assessment Year 2025-26 (FY2024-25) have undergone structural and content revisions aimed at simplifying compliance, enhancing transparency, and enabling accurate reporting.
These changes have necessitated additional time for system development, integration, and testing of the corresponding utilities. Furthermore, credits arising from TDS statements, due for filing by 31st May, 2025, are expected to begin reflecting in early June, limiting the effective window for returns filing in the absence of such extension,” the central board of direct taxes said in astatement. For the last few years, the tax department has been sticking to the July-31 deadline meant for individuals who do not need to get audits done. The deadline covers the bulk of I-T returns filed during the year. Whenever the deadline has been extended in the past, it has happened quite late in the day. But this time the I-T department has opted to inform taxpayers early.
