CBDT extends date of filing of Income Tax Returns (ITRs) due for filing by 31st July 2025 to 15th September 2025.
Reasons for Extension
The CBDT revealed that the extension has become imperative due to major “structural and content revisions” in the ITR forms. The modifications aim at making compliance easier, more transparent, and result in more accurate reporting.
The accommodation of these revised forms, as per the tax agency, necessitates extra time for system development, integration, and thorough testing of the related e-filing utilities. Without this additional timeframe, taxpayers and stakeholders would have encountered difficulties in meeting the new requirements.
