ITR Filing 2025 Last Date:<\/strong> While non-audit taxpayers are scrambling to file their income tax returns (ITR) for the FY2024-25 (Assessment year 2025-26) on the deadline, today i.e., September 15, 2025, is the last day for several payments, including advance tax of quarter 2, EPF contribution for August 2025, and ESIC filing for August 2025.<\/p>\n

ITR Filing 2025 For Non-Audit Taxpayers<\/h3>\n

The Income Tax Department has clarified that the due date for filing income tax return (ITR) for FY2024-25 (Assessment year 2025-26) will not be further extended from today, September 15, 2025. The tax department debunked a fake news suggesting that the due date of filing ITRs has been further extended to September 30, 2025.<\/p>\n

\n

The income tax return (ITR) filing deadline for the financial year 2024-25 (Assessment year 2025-26) is today, September 15. The non-audit taxpayers must file their ITRs to avoid any penalty. The income tax department has extended the deadline for the ITR filing for FY2024-25 (Assessment Year 2025-26) for 45 days to September 15, 2025, from July 30, 2025.<\/p>\n

The CBDT had ascribed the extension to the extensive changes implemented in the notified ITRs, citing the time needed for system readiness and the rollout of Income Tax Return (ITR) utilities for Assessment Year (AY) 2025\u201326.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Advance Tax Payment Due Date 2025<\/h3>\n

Under the advance tax, taxpayers pay their tax liabilities during the financial year instead of paying while filing the returns after the end of the financial year.<\/p>\n

The Advance Tax payment is divided into four quarters throughout the financial year.<\/p>\n

The due date to pay the 2nd installment of advance tax for second quarter (July-September) FY2024-26 is September 15, 2025. Taxpayers need to pay 45 per cent of the total tax liability for the year by September 15, 2025.<\/p>\n

EPF (Provident Fund) Contribution For August 2025<\/h3>\n

Employers must remit the combined contributions (employee + employer shares) to EPFO by September 15, 2025.<\/p>\n

According to Para 38(1) of the EPF Scheme, 1952, it is mandatory for employer to make the payment by the 15th of the following month.<\/p>\n

In the event of late payment, employers and employees may incur a 12 per cent simple interest penalty, along with other penalties.<\/p>\n

You can track your August contribution in your EPF passbook via the UMANG app or EPFO portal (unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in) after remittance. Ensure your UAN is Aadhaar-linked and KYC updated for seamless crediting.<\/p>\n

ESIC Filing For August 2025<\/h3>\n

Employers must remit the combined contributions (employee deductions + employer share) by September 15, 2025 for August 2025. This is mandatory under Section 40 of the ESI Act. Late payments attract simple interest at 12% per annum from the due date until payment, plus damages (up to 100% of the amount) and potential prosecution under Sections 85(a) and 85A.<\/p>\n

The Employees\u2019 State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) offers several social security benefits to workers in covered establishments, including medical, maternity, disability, and others.<\/p>\n
