ITR Filing Deadline Extended to Sept. 15, but Advance Tax Unchanged
The government has extended the deadline to file your income tax return (ITR) to September 15, 2025, but this only applies to those who don't need an audit.
However, you still need to pay your advance tax by the original deadlines.
If you pay your self-assessment tax late, you may get charged extra.
Also, the extension might mean you get more interest on any tax refunds.
Remember to keep track of important documents to file.
ITR filing deadline for AY 2025-26 extended to September 15, 2025, for non-audited taxpayers.
Advance tax payment deadlines remain unchanged despite the ITR extension.
Interest under Sections 234B and 234C will apply if advance tax is delayed.
Self-assessment tax must be paid by September 30 to avoid interest under Section 234A.
Taxpayers may receive more interest on refunds due to the extended filing date.
