New Delhi: ITR Filing 2025 deadline ends today: The deadline for filing your income tax return (ITR) is ending today i.e. Monday 15 September.
The current deadline (15 September) has already been extended as CBDT has extended the time limit for non-audit cases from 31 July to 15 September 2025.
Although tax bodies and experts have called for action from the Income Tax Department citing continuous problems in the filing system and discrepancies between Form 26 AS and AIS, the Income Tax Department says that the last date for filing ITR is September 15.
Meanwhile, experts and taxpayers are facing technical difficulties on the e-filing platform. This year, tax professionals are also struggling with difficulties due to IT utilities being released late. The continuous problems on the portal and the discrepancies between Form 26AS and annual information details (AIS) are making the situation worse.
