ITR Filing Deadline: Missed Deadline Consequences & Penalties
The deadline to file your income tax return (ITR) was September 15th, 2025.
If you missed it, you'll likely face penalties.
Filing late means a fine, and you'll also have to pay interest on any unpaid taxes.
Plus, you might not be able to carry forward losses.
The government stated that there would be no deadline extension, so it's crucial to file on time to avoid issues.
The deadline for filing ITR for non-audit taxpayers was September 15, 2025.
Missing the deadline results in a late filing fee and interest charges.
Losses from business or property cannot be carried forward if the return is filed late.
Approximately 6.7 crore ITRs were filed by the deadline.
The government confirmed no further extensions were granted.
