Income Tax Return: Will Sep 15 Deadline For ITR Filing Extend Further? What Expert Says
Last Updated:
ITR Filing Last Date: The ITR filing deadline for FY2024-25 is now September 15, 2025, due to delays in Excel-utility forms.
ITR Filing Last Date: The ITR filing deadline for FY2024-25 (Assessment year 2025-26) has been extended to September 15, 2025, from July 31, 2025, giving taxpayers time to complete their tax duties without any hustle and avoid the last-minute rush. The deadline was extended due to a delay in releasing the Excel-utility forms for ITR-1,2,3 & 4 forms, citing several changes in the reporting process of these forms, system upgrades, and technical preparation. The tax department released the tax utility for ITR-2 and ITR-3 a few weeks ago.
Despite the extension, only 50 days remained to file the ITR for FY2024-25. Taxpayers must finish the filing process and verification before the deadline in order to avoid any untoward penalty.
The tax department hasn't yet released the Excel-based utilities for ITR-5, 6, and 7 forms. Moreover, the online utility of the ITR-3 form isn't available yet.
According to the Financial Express report, experts believe that the department may extend the deadline further for this reason.
Still, one question among the taxpayers persists – will the deadline extend further from September 15?
