New Delhi, July 15: The Central Board of Direct Taxes has announced an extension of the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing deadline to ensure a smoother and more convenient experience for taxpayers. According to Section 234A of the Income Tax Act, individuals who file their ITR and pay any outstanding self-assessment tax by the new deadline will not be liable to pay interest.
This extension applies to a wide range of taxpayers, including both salaried individuals and the self-employed.
It’s important to note that the due dates for filing vary depending on the taxpayer category, as defined under the Income Tax Act, 1961.
For individuals, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), Associations of Persons (AOPs), and Bodies of Individuals (BOIs) whose accounts are not subject to audit, the new deadline has been extended to September 15, 2025.
This revised timeline gives taxpayers additional time to ensure accuracy and compliance in their returns. • For businesses that require an audit, the deadline remains October 31, 2025. •
For businesses requiring transfer pricing reports (in case of international/specified domestic transactions), the due date is November 30, 2025. In case of revised return or belated returns, the due date is December 31, 2025.
