On 27 May 2025, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) announced an extension of the deadline for filing Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for the financial year. The new deadline is now 15th September 2025, extended from the earlier 31st July.
This decision was made to accommodate significant revisions in ITR forms, system upgrades, and issues related to TDS credit reflection. The CBDT stated that the extension aims to ensure a smoother and more accurate filing process and address stakeholder concerns effectively.
