Explained: Why CBDT Extended Deadline to File Income Tax Returns to Sept 15

  • The deadline for submitting Income Tax Returns for the assessment year 2025-26 has been postponed from July 31 to September 15, 2025, following an announcement by the Indian tax authorities.
  • The extension was granted due to the late release of the revised ITR forms and the additional time needed to develop and test the new filing software.
  • The notified ITR forms have been redesigned to make the filing process more straightforward, increase openness, and support more precise income reporting.
  • A spokesperson for the CBDT announced that the deadline for filing ITRs has been extended to 15th September 2025 to help taxpayers manage the process more easily.
  • The extension provides taxpayers 46 extra days to file returns, expected to ease compliance, improve filing accuracy, and address stakeholder concerns.
