IT Department 'September 15 last date to file ITR'

The Income Tax Department has clarified that the deadline for ITR filing for Assessment Year 2025-26 is September 15 and there is no further extension as circulated on social media.

In a late night post on X on September 14, the department termed “fake” a statement in circulation on social media stating that the due date of filing ITRs has been further extended to September 30, 2025.

Asking taxpayers to only rely on official updates on @IncomeTaxIndia, it said “The



due date for filing ITRs remains 15.09.2025”.

A host of chartered accountants and individuals have taken to social media over the past couple of days claiming that the I-T portal is facing glitches while making tax payment and downloading AIS (Annual Information Statement).

“The e-filing portal is working fine. Please clear your browser cache or try accessing the portal through a different browser,” the I-T department said in reply to one such post on Monday morning.
