The Income Tax Department has extended the deadline for filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) for the financial year 2024-25 from July 31 to September 15, 2025.
The extension is due to revisions in ITR forms, system development requirements, and delays in TDS credit reflection, as per the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT).
Taxpayers are advised to utilize this extended window to avoid last-minute rush and penalties.
Steps to file ITR for FY 2024-25 include logging into the e-filing portal, choosing the appropriate ITR form, entering required details, verifying the return with Aadhaar OTP or EVC, and finally, downloading a copy of the ITR-V.
