ITR Filing Deadline 2025 Extended Till September 16.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

ITR Filing Deadline Extended:<\/strong> The income tax department on Monday extended by one day the deadline for filing the income tax return (ITR) for AY 2025-26, till September 16. Earlier, the ITR filing last date was September 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe due date for filing of income tax returns (ITRs) for AY 2025-26, originally due on July 31, 2025, was extended to September 15, 2025. The CBDT has decided to further extend the due date for filing these ITRs for AY 2025-26 from September 15, 2025, to September 16, 2025,” the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said in a late-night circular.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo enable changes in the utilities, the e-filing portal will remain in maintenance mode from 12:00 am to 02:30 am on 16th September 2025,” , according to the CBDT statement issued at 11.48 pm on September 15.<\/p>\n

The extension in the ITR deadline came after chartered accountants and individuals took to social media to complain of glitches on the e-filing portal.<\/p>\n

A record over 7.3 crore income tax returns (ITRs) have been filed till September 15, surpassing last year\u2019s 7.28 crore, said the income tax department.<\/p>\n

Who Must File ITR By September 16?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new September 16 deadline is for non-audit taxpayers, including most salaried individuals, pensioners, NRIs, and those whose accounts do not require audit. For audit ITRs, the deadline remains October 31.<\/p>\n

Usually, the ITR filing deadline every year is July 31. However, this year, the last date for filing non-audit returns was pushed to September 15 from the usual July 31 deadline, owing to delays in the release of updated ITR forms. The extension came after several tweaks were required following the interim Budget\u2019s changes to the capital gains tax framework.<\/p>\n

What Happens If You Miss Today\u2019s Deadline?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taxpayers filing after September 16 face a penalty of Rs 5,000 under Section 234F, though the fine is capped at Rs 1,000 for those with income below Rs 5 lakh. Late filers also lose the ability to carry forward certain losses, risk refund delays and may attract closer scrutiny from the tax department.<\/p>\n

With the clock ticking, the department is urging taxpayers to file early to avoid last-minute issues. Whether the deadline is extended once again remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
