ITR Filing 2025: If you still haven’t filed your Income Tax Return (ITR) for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26), there’s some relief. The Centre has extended the deadline to September 15, 2025, from the earlier cut-off of July 31. 

This extension applies to salaried individuals and pensioners whose accounts don’t require an audit. For those whose accounts need auditing, the due date remains unchanged.

That gives you about 20 days to get your documents in order. Filing an ITR is mandatory if your income exceeds the basic exemption limit. And if you’re a first-time filer, you’ll need to create an account on the income tax e-filing portal (www.incometax.gov.in) before proceeding.

The Income Tax Department advises cross-checking your details carefully. Mismatches between your return and records like Form 26AS or AIS can delay processing. For instance, a recent case of a woman selling land worth Rs 4.5 crore showed how proper documentation--and even a decades-old circular--can save taxpayers from unnecessary tax burdens.
