ITR Filing Deadline Extended to September 15, 2025
The deadline to file your income tax return has been pushed back.
Instead of filing by July 31, 2025, you now have until September 15, 2025.
This is because the government updated the tax forms, and they need more time to make sure everything works smoothly.
Tax experts say this is a good thing, as the old deadline was often rushed because of late information and system issues.
This gives taxpayers extra time to complete their taxes correctly.
The ITR filing deadline for Assessment Year 2025-26 has been extended.
The new deadline is September 15, 2025, pushed back from the original date of July 31, 2025.
This extension is due to revisions in ITR forms and system development needs.
The changes include new disclosure requirements, such as capital gains bifurcation.
Tax experts have welcomed the extension, citing the challenges of the previous deadline.
