ITR Filing FY 2024‑25 (AY 2025‑26) Last Date: The new Income Tax Return (ITR) filing season for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26) began on April 1, 2025, with around 1.09 crore income tax returns having been filed already, as of July 9. However, these returns for AY 2025-26 were filed by taxpayers who are entitled to use ITR forms 1 and 4, as the Income Tax Department currently has only issued utilities for ITR-1 and ITR-4, with major forms such as ITR-2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 yet to be released. Since the beginning of the year, the Income Tax Department has been sending ITR forms and utilities with unusually long delays, resulting in taxpayers and tax specialists raising their worries, anticipating that the government will prolong the deadline even further. A few months ago, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) extended the deadline for filing returns due to the changes introduced in the notified Income Tax Returns (ITRs) and the time required for system readiness and rollout of ITR utilities for Assessment Year (AY) 2025-26. Rise in demand from the government intensifies on social media: Taxpayers and CAs are continually pushing the government on social media to make the remaining ITR forms available as soon as feasible. Many people have also called on the government to extend the existing deadline of September 15. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH NOW! THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T KEEP PRETENDING TO TURN A BLIND-EYE TO THE INCOMPETENCE OF INDIA's 'BEST' SOFTWARE COMPANY @Infosys @Infosys_nmurthy RT this to amplify the same to @FinMinIndia @IncomeTaxIndia @nsitharaman @nsitharamanoffc 🚨 Release ITR-2/3/5/6/7… — CA Himank Singla (@CAHimankSingla) July 2, 2025 When is the new revised last date to file ITR for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26)? The deadline for filing ITRs, which was originally due on July 31, 2025, has been extended to September 15, 2025, to provide a seamless and convenient filing experience for taxpayers.
