The Income Tax Department has extended the last date for filing ITR i.e. ITR one more day. Now the last date for filing ITR is 16 September 2025. Earlier this date was set on 15 September. However, the first last date for filing ITR was 31 July 2025, which was already extended.
A press release issued by the Income Tax Department said that the last date for filing income tax returns has now been extended to one day to 16 September. This step has been taken for the convenience of taxpayers who are having difficulty in filing their returns due to technical problems on the income tax e-filing portal. The Income Tax Department also informed that maintenance work will be done from 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm on September 16 to make necessary updates and changes on the e-filing portal.
When did the word tax origin? What was it earlier called?
Taxpayers have got some relief by extending the date of filing ITR one day. But the department has appealed everyone to file their income tax returns on time, so that technical problems or penalty coming in the last minute can be avoided. What is the provision of fine? In order to avoid additional fine, it is necessary to file timely income tax returns (ITR). Under Section 234F of the Income Tax Act, taxpayers filing returns are fined after the stipulated time frame. If the total income of the taxpayer is more than Rs 5 lakh, then a fine of up to Rs 5,000 will be imposed for filing ITR late. At the same time, whose income is less than Rs 5 lakh, they will have to pay a fine of Rs 1,000.
If ITR is filed late then these problems will come. If the Income Tax Return (ITR) is not admitted on time, then not only the fine, but many other problems will also come. Under Section 234A, interest is payable 1% per month on outstanding tax. In addition, filing late returns takes longer in the process and also delays refunds. If the information is hidden or given wrong, then imprisonment can also occur under the Income Tax Act. There is a provision of imprisonment from 3 months to 2 years in serious cases.
