ITR deadline extended to Sept 15 amid major form changes

New Delhi: The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has pushed the deadline for filing Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for the assessment year 2025–26 from July 31 to September 15, 2025, citing substantial updates to the ITR forms.

In a press release dated May 27, the board said the extension was necessary due to “structural and content revisions aimed at simplifying compliance, enhancing transparency, and enabling accurate reporting.”

These changes, it noted, require additional time for developing, integrating, and testing the relevant e-filing systems.

The revised ITR forms reflect several amendments introduced through the Finance Act 2024, including stricter disclosure norms for tax deductions, reporting of TDS section codes, and detailed capital gains data split into pre- and post-July 23, 2024 periods.

The Act had overhauled capital gains tax rules for certain transactions effective from that date.

CBDT also pointed out that TDS credits, due to be filed by May 31, would only begin reflecting in early June, effectively shortening the return filing window in the absence of an extension.

“To facilitate a smooth and convenient filing experience for taxpayers,” the board said, the extended timeline will help ensure that stakeholders have sufficient time to adapt to the changes.

A formal notification on the revised deadline will be issued separately, it added.
