CBDT Extends ITR Filing Due Date from 31st July to 15th September for AY 2025-26

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing deadline for Assessment Year (AY) 2025-26 from July 31, 2025, to September 15, 2025. This extension is granted to provide taxpayers with additional time to comply, considering the extensive changes introduced in the notified ITR forms for AY 2025-26 and the time required for system readiness and rollout of ITR utilities. The move aims to reduce compliance burdens and facilitate smoother filings, especially as credits from TDS statements are expected to reflect in early June.
