The Income Tax Department on Tuesday extended the due date for filing Indian Income Tax Returns (ITR) for the Assessment Year (AY) 2025-26 to September 15, from the earlier deadline of July 31.

The extension applies to individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), and entities who do not need to get their accounts audited. They can now file their tax returns for income earned in the 2024–25 (April–March) fiscal year by September 15.
