Itr filing new deadline: The last date for filling the Income Tax Return (ITR) has been changed.

With this, now taxpayers with non-audit accounts can file their returns till 12 noon tonight.

Why increased deadline?

The date of ITR filing was extended because many people complained of technical disturbances on the e-filing portal. Due to this, people had difficulties in filing returns. Many more people including Chartered Accountants had complained on social media.

CBDT issued a circular saying, “The fixed date to file income tax return (ITR), which was originally on 31 July 2025, was extended to 15 September 2025.” CBDT has now decided to increase the date of filing these ITRs from September 15, 2025 to September 16, 2025. It was also informed in the circular that the e-filing portal will remain in maintenance mode from 12 noon to 2:30 pm on September 16, so the portal will be closed for some time. During this time some changes will be made in it.

Non-audit taxpayers will have to be filled today

Today, non-audit taxpayers will have to file their ITR to avoid any fine. Let us know that the Income Tax Department had earlier extended the last date of filing ITR for financial year 2024-25 (Assessment Year 2025-26) from 30 July, 2025 to 45 days to September 15, 2025.

However, this deadline was not extended for taxpayers whose accounts are required to be audited such as companies, proprietorship and working partner in a firm. They have to file ITRs for assessment year 2025-26 by October 31, 2025. Earlier, the audit report has to be submitted by 30 September, 2025. So far, the Income Tax Department has not announced any detail in this deadline.

Land waiver option became active

The last date for filling ITR for non-audit taxpayers is today, but if he misses for some reason, then there is nothing to panic in it. The Income Tax Department has activated the option of delayed (Condonation of Delay) on the e-filing portal, giving relief to those taxpayers.

In fact, many times people are not able to file returns on time in emergency conditions such as hospitalization or any other serious reasons in the family, then they have been given the option to file a penalty or late return of a penalty. In such cases, the first applicant will have to appeal to forgive the delay and if the request is accepted, then no penalty will have to be given. However, to avail this facility, you will also have to offer enough evidence. If you have evidence, then you can avail this facility by the end of the assessment year.

However, the problem is not in the entire system nor all taxpayers are facing it. It is possible that taxpayers trying to log in at the same time are facing such problems. Due to high traffic, the server is overloaded several times.

Since, now there is only today and tomorrow’s time left in filing returns, so people are depositing their ITR. In such a situation, even though the portal works properly, it is unable to handle the requests of many taxpayers simultaneously. You understand it like a 4-6-lane highway, where some vehicles are slowly moving forward due to traffic jams, while some are going out in speed.

The Income Tax Department had said on social media on September 13, 2025, AIS can no longer be downloaded through any third-party software tool, so now the only way to download AIS is to log on to the e-filing ITR portal and then go on the AIS Compliance Portal (https://ais.insight.gov.in/compliaseportal/aisportn/ However, some users say that the portal is opening comfortably and AIS can be downloaded in a few seconds. At the same time, for some users, AIS is taking up to 10 minutes to download.
