What happened

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) — the government body that manages income tax in India — has extended the due date for filing your Income Tax Return for Assessment Year 2025-26. Assessment Year 2025-26 means the tax return you file for income earned in the financial year April 2024 to March 2025. The new deadline has not been clearly stated in the available content.

Why it matters

The government periodically extends tax filing deadlines to give taxpayers more time. This helps people avoid late filing penalties. The source content does not mention the specific new date, so the exact extension details are unclear.

What to check

  • →Check the official Income Tax India website at incometax.gov.in for the exact new deadline date
  • →Find out if the extension applies to your category — salaried, self-employed, or business owner — as different taxpayers may have different deadlines
  • →Look at whether any interest or penalty applies if you file after the original due date but before the new extended date
  • →Ask your CA or tax consultant if this extension affects your specific filing situation
  • →Consider filing before the extended deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues on the tax portal
