The news of extending the last date for filing income tax returns is false. Income Tax India, by tweeting, described this news as false and clarified that the last date for filing income tax returns will be 15 September 2025. It has not been extended till 30 September 2025, so people should be careful and stay away from rumors. File income tax returns on time, otherwise you may have to suffer losses. If the last date is missed, departmental action can also be taken.
The news is said to be false
Let us tell you that Income Tax India has written in the tweet that false news is going on about the last date for filing income tax returns. It is being said in the news that the last date for filing ITR has been extended and now people will be able to file returns by September 30, but this news is false. The last date for filing ITR will be 15 September. Taxpayers are advised to rely only on the update of Income Tax India, our Helpdesk works 24 hours, works seven days a week, provides assistance through calls, live chats, Webax sessions and applications.
If you miss the last date, you will suffer these disadvantages
Let me tell you that if you miss the last date for filing income tax returns, then you may have to suffer losses. Under the Income Tax Act, there is a provision of fine, penal and departmental inquiry for not filing or delaying income tax returns. For example, delay fees may have to be paid according to income. As long as ITR will be delayed for months, you may have to pay interest every month. You will not be able to accommodate any kind of damage in income tax returns. If you miss the last date, the refund will also be delayed. There may also be a danger of departmental inquiry.
Which documents are necessary for ITR?
Let us tell you that PAN card, Aadhaar card, form-16, bank statement, FD or interest income details, investment and deduction certificate (80C, 80D etc.), capital benefits etc. are mandatory for filing income tax returns. If the annual income is less than 5 lakhs, then apart from Aadhaar card and PAN card, no other document including Form-16 is required. If the salary is more than 8 lakhs, then you will be able to take advantage of tax exemption on submission of savings documents and Form-16 will be necessary for this.
