The Income Tax Department has extended the ITR filing deadline for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26) from July 31 to September 15, 2025<\/strong>. This extension provides taxpayers, especially salaried individuals, additional time due to delays in form releases and system updates.<\/div>\n

New ITR Filing Deadlines Announced for FY 2024-25<\/h2>\n

The last date for filing income tax returns<\/a> has been officially extended for the financial year 2024-25 (assessment year 2025-26). This is particularly good news for taxpayers as they can now wait longer to file their taxes and avoid penalties.<\/p>\n

The previous deadline for filing ITRs, July 31, 2025, has been extended to September 15, 2025<\/strong>. It is for people who do not have their personal income tax audited by the government. It allows individuals who rely on employers and financial institutions for documents to have additional time to complete their forms.<\/p>\n

Why the Deadline Was Extended?<\/h2>\n

Official ITR forms for this year have not been released by the government yet. To ensure taxpayers declare their earnings and reduce taxable income, they need to use these forms. Further, the tools needed to file ITRs online are still being rolled out. Because of this technical setback, ending development later than expected is one of the main reasons.<\/p>\n

With the extension, those filing taxes can take their time to provide documents and verify their finances. Before June 15, most of these documents aren\u2019t available, so filing early is difficult and risky.<\/p>\n

Key Documents are Usually Available after June 15<\/h2>\n

Form 16 from employers and Form 16A from banks or institutions are usually available only after mid-June at the earliest. Similarly, the bank and mutual fund sector updates the Statement of Financial Transactions (SFT) and the Annual Information Statement (AIS) in the second week of June.<\/p>\n

Filing without these documents may cause you to report your income more poorly or miss claiming deductions.<\/p>\n

Waiting until mid-June helps you:<\/p>\n
