2025 ITR: Important Deadlines and Filing Pitfalls to Avoid
Imagine you are filing your taxes.
The government has pushed back the deadline, but you should still aim to file sooner rather than later to catch mistakes.
If you earn over a certain amount (₹2.5 or ₹3 lakh, depending on the tax plan you pick), you must file a tax return.
Make sure to use the correct form for your income, or else you will have problems, and always make sure to confirm your filing after submission.
Ignoring these steps can lead to penalties.
The ITR filing deadline for 2025 has been extended to September 15.
It's advisable to file ITR early to avoid last-minute errors and allow corrections.
ITR filing is mandatory if income exceeds ₹2.5 lakh (old regime) or ₹3 lakh (new regime).
Selecting the incorrect ITR form can cause issues and lead to defect notices.
Failure to verify the ITR after filing is equivalent to not submitting on time.
