ITR Filing Last Date: The central government has given relief to taxpayers by extending the date of this year’s Income Tax Return (ITR) filing. The last date for filing income tax returns (ITR) for the financial year 2024-25 i.e. Assessment Year 2025-26 has been extended from July 31 to September 15 so that taxpayers get longer to get more time to fill the returns without any hassle or hassle and in the last time, there is no need to participate in the last time.
This deadline has been increased due to the delay in issuing Excel-YouTality forms for ITR-1, 2, 3 and 4 forms as many changes were made in these forms this year. Due to this, the backnd system had to be upgraded, utility was re -prepared and data also had to be investigated.
Deadline may increase to file ITR
Overall, you now have only 50 days left to file ITR. In such a situation, to avoid penalty, complete the premature filing and verification processes. However, Excel utilities have not been released for ITR-5, 6 and 7 forms and apart from this, online utility of ITR-3 form is also not live. In such a situation, taxpayers are facing difficulties in filing ITRs. According to the report of Financial Express, experts believe that the Income Tax Department may increase the deadline for some time.
Will the deadline grow again?
According to FT Report, CA (Dr.) Suresh Surana says that no official information has been given for the assessment year 2025-26 to increase the time limit for filing ITR in Form 5, 6 and 7. Due to the delay in issuing online and offline filing for these forms, taxpayers will get less time to file returns.
Apart from this, Excel Utility of ITR-3 form is still available only in Excel format, JSON-based online filing option is still not present. In such a situation, the deadline may be increased for some time. However, nothing can be said about this right now. Earlier, CBDT had extended the deadline due to administrative or technical delays.
