The Income Tax Department has confirmed that September 15, 2025, is the final deadline for filing Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for the financial year 2024-25, ruling out any possibility of an extension.
Amid rising speculation, the department has clarified that a widely circulated message claiming the deadline has been extended to September 30 is completely false. The fake notice, shared on social media and messaging platforms, falsely stated that the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) had granted more time for filing.
In its advisory, the department urged taxpayers to ignore such misleading messages and rely solely on official updates from its verified handle @IncomeTaxIndia.
For those yet to file their returns, the process is simple: log in to the official income tax portal using your PAN as the user ID and password, and follow the filing steps before the deadline ends.
