ITR filing 2025 last date extended
The last date for the filing of Income Tax Returns (ITR) for the financial year 2024-25 (Assessment Year 2025-26) has been extended. while the date for the filing of the return has been extended, the payment of any due self-assessment taxes must be finished by July 31.(Reuters) The Central Board of Direct Taxes has released a new deadline for ITR filing for non-audit cases, including salaried taxpayers. The final date to file the ITR for them has now been moved to September 15, 2025, from the earlier date July 31, 2025, according to the CBDT circular. Filing beyond this date will lead to a penalty of ₹5,000 (if income exceeds ₹5 lakh) and ₹1,000 for lower income groups under Section 234F. Belated or revised returns can be filed till December 31, 2025, and updated returns (ITR-U) can be filed till March 31, 2030. However, while the date for the filing of the return has been extended, the payment of any due self-assessment taxes must be finished by July 31. If not, penal interest under Section 234A may be accrued. The extension comes after alleged delays in the availability of updated ITR forms and e-filing facilities on the Income Tax Department's portal. Apart from this, the late reflection of TDS data in Form 26AS and AIS also led to challenges for the taxpayers, who urged for extension to ensure precise filing. The deadline extension also leads to a positive reflection on the refund interests. Taxpayers who are due refunds may get up to 33 per cent higher interest under Section 244A. This is because the interest is accrued from April 1, despite the extension. This interest is taxable and must be reported in the ITR. The Income Tax Department introduced a new Excel-based offline utility for filing the Income Tax Return-1 and Income Tax Return-4. Under this utility, taxpayers will be able to validate their returns by creating a JSON file and uploading it to the e-filing portal.

Got a tax notice for submitting less TDS? CBDT relief may offer respite
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has provided some relief to taxpayers and businesses who have been served tax demand notices for deducting tax at source (TDS) or collecting tax at source (TCS) at normal rates from payees whose Permanent Account Numbers (PANs) had become inoperative for want of Aadhaar linkage. Under the Income-Tax Act, inoperative PANs attract higher TDS/TCS rates of 20 per cent. CBDT has spared deductors and collectors from paying the differential tax and penalties, provided certain conditions are met. What triggered this relief? Several deductors had raised concerns about notices from the tax department demanding additional tax where they applied normal TDS/TCS rates, unaware that the payee's PAN was inactive. 'The CBDT's circular provides significant relief to taxpayers who were saddled with tax demands arising from short deduction or collection on account of a payee's PAN being inoperative due to non-linkage with Aadhaar,' says Ashish Mehta, partner at Khaitan & Co. Who benefits and how? Relief applies in cases where: -Transactions occurred between April 1, 2024 and July 31, 2025, and -The payee's PAN is made operative by September 30, 2025. In such cases, demand notices for short deduction will be quashed after rectification of returns or reprocessing. Example: Consider A buying property worth Rs 1 crore from B in May 2024 and deducting TDS at 1 per cent (Rs 100,000). If B's PAN was inoperative, A was liable to deduct TDS at 20 per cent (Rs 20,00,000), resulting in a tax demand of Rs 19 lakh. 'According to the new circular, A will no longer be required to pay this demand if B's PAN becomes operative by September 30, 2025,' explains Mehta. No penalty or interest if PAN is updated 'If the payee links PAN with Aadhaar within the prescribed timelines, the deductor need not pay any interest or penalty for short deduction,' adds Mehta. What should taxpayers do now? -Verify PAN-Aadhaar linkage of employees, tenants, or sellers before making payments. -Advise payees to complete linkage promptly to avoid higher TDS/TCS rates. -Monitor compliance timelines to ensure eligibility for relief. 'This proactive step is critical for employers, landlords, property buyers, and small businesses to stay out of trouble,' says Mehta.
