ITR Filing deadline: The deadline for filing income tax returns for the assessment year 2025-26 (FY 2025) was increased from September 15 to September 16, that is, the last chance is for those who have missed the taxpayers on filing it. If you miss this, you may have to pay a penalty. The Income Tax Department has given information about increasing its deadline by tweeting on X (former name Twitter). His tweet came 12 minutes before the midnight deadline passed on 15 September. In such a situation, the taxpayers who have not been able to file it yet can file it today without any penalty.
During this time the site remained in maintenance mode
In the tweet of the Income Tax Department, it has been said that it was increased from 15 September to 16 September before the passage of assessment year 2025-26 (FY 2025) passed the deadline from 15 September. Earlier too, it was increased from its original deadline from 31 July 2025 to 15 September 2025. The Central Board of Direct Taxes decided to move it one more day further. However, in this tweet made before midnight, an important message was that the e-filing portal was in maintenance mode from 12 noon to 2 pm in the midnight regarding changes in utilities.
