New Delhi. If you file income tax returns, then today’s date is important for you. Today is the last date for filing income tax return. All the people and the CA hoped that the Income Tax Department would extend the date of filing returns, but the Income Tax Department has not done so till the news is written.

According to the Income Tax rule, a penalty is charged 1000 rupees for filing returns on income of up to 5 lakhs. There is a provision of penalty of Rs 5000 for delays to those more annually. The Income Tax Department has fixed the last date for filing returns this year on 15 September 2025.
