Recently, the Income Tax Department has issued all seven ITR forms for the assessment year 20225-26, in which there have been many major changes. It is taking time to update the system to implement them. Utilities are also being tested. For example, ITR-7 for Trust or Charitable Institutions was notified on 11 May, while ITR-1 and ITR-4 for small and medium taxpayers were notified on 29 April.

The CBDT also said that TDS statements, which will be submitted by May 31, 2025, will all start appearing in early June. Due to this, there may be less time to file the return this time, due to which this step has been taken.

Usually, ITR forms are notified around February/March before the end of the financial year. However, this time the facility of filing ITR forms and documents was delayed as the officials of the Revenue Department were busy with the new Income Tax Bill which was introduced in Parliament in February. CBDT said, “In order to make the document filing experience smooth and convenient for the taxpayers, it has been decided that the last date for filing ITR which was originally July 31 has been extended to September 15, 2025.
