The Centre has extended the deadline for filing Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for the Assessment Year 2025-26 by one more day, moving it to Tuesday, September 16, 2025.
The decision came late on Monday night following widespread complaints from taxpayers about technical glitches on the Income Tax Department’s e-filing portal.
“The due date for filing of Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for AY 2025-26, originally due on 31st July 2025, was extended to 15th September 2025. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has now decided to further extend the due date for filing these ITRs from 15th September 2025 to 16th September 2025,” the department announced through its official handle on X at 11:48 pm.
The one-day extension is expected to provide relief to thousands of taxpayers who struggled with last-minute technical issues on the portal.
