In a significant move welcomed by taxpayers and professionals alike, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the due date for filing Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for the assessment year 2025-26. Returns originally due by July 31, 2025, can now be filed until September 15, 2025. This extension comes in response to the delayed release of ITR utilities, which have not been made available to taxpayers and tax professionals as of mid-June 2025.
