ITR Filing Due Date: What Happens if You Miss Deadline to File Income Tax Today? ₹5,000 Penalty and More
The Income Tax Department warned taxpayers against false extension rumors and reported over 60 million returns filed for Assessment Year 2025-26 so far.
- The Income Tax Department has reiterated that taxpayers must submit their Income Tax Returns for the financial year 2024-25 by September 15, 2025, in New Delhi, with no extensions beyond this date.
- This followed an initial deadline of July 31, 2025, which was extended to September 15, but a false message claimed a further extension to September 30 was granted.
- The department dismissed the false information and advised taxpayers to follow updates exclusively from the official @IncomeTaxIndia account, cautioning them against trusting fraudulent social media posts.
- More than 60 million Income Tax Returns for the fiscal year 2025-26 have been submitted, and taxpayers with incomes exceeding ₹5 lakh face a penalty of up to ₹5,000 if they miss the filing deadline as per Section 234F.
- Taxpayers have the opportunity to submit delayed or amended returns up until December 31, 2025, and can file updated returns through March 31, 2030; however, meeting the current deadline is essential to avoid penalties and interest charges.
