Taxpayers across India are on high alert as the final countdown begins:
The deadline to file Income Tax Returns (ITR) for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26) is 15th September 2025, as announced by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT).
This extension—from the original July 31st date—accommodates recent updates to ITR forms, system changes, and reporting requirements, aiming to make compliance easier for individuals, HUFs, and small businesses.
What This Means for Taxpayers?
File before September 15 to avoid penalties and interest.
Late fees: ₹5,000 if total income exceeds ₹5 lakh; ₹1,000 if income is below that level.
Interest: 1% per month on unpaid tax (Section 234A).
Belated returns can be filed until December 31, 2025, but will attract penalties and loss of benefits like carry-forward of losses.
Why was the Deadline Extended?
Portal glitches and technical issues during e-filing.
Delayed release of updated ITR forms for new reporting requirements.
Increased complexity due to new reporting formats for professionals and businesses.
Advisory: File Early, File Accurately
Tax professionals and the Income Tax Department urge eligible taxpayers not to wait or hope for further extensions.
Last-minute filing increases the risk of:
Errors
Missed deductions
Technical snags

PAN, Aadhaar
Form 16, 26AS
