Event Summary

The India — Income Tax Department in India set September 15, 2025, as the final deadline for filing Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for Assessment Year 2025-26 for non-audit taxpayers. This deadline was previously extended from July 31 due to changes in ITR forms and system upgrades. Despite calls from professional bodies like the Karnataka State Chartered Accountants Association (KSCAA), the Central India Regional Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), and the Advocates Tax Bar Association (ATBA) to the India — Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) for a further extension, citing portal glitches and other issues, the India — Income Tax Department has denied any additional extensions. Over 7 crore ITRs have been filed, but many taxpayers are still rushing to meet the deadline, facing penalties for late filing, including a fee of up to Rs 5,000 and loss of carry-forward benefits.
