This decision was taken because the utility forms for Excel users of ITR forms (ITR-1, 2, 3 and 4) were issued late. Apart from this, there was also delay due to system upgrade and new reporting rules. Now taxpayers have got about 50 days extra time so that they can file and verify their ITR without any hurry. But can the date of filing ITR be extended.

Utility of which forms is still not available?

Excel utilities for ITR-5, 6 and 7 forms have not been released yet. Also, JSON based utility for online filing of ITR-3 is not available yet. Currently, this form is available only in Excel format.

Will the deadline be extended further?

Although the new deadline of 15 September has been announced, the question still remains among the taxpayers whether this date can be extended further? On this, tax expert Suresh Surana says that no official announcement has been made by CBDT i.e. Central Board of Direct Taxes yet. But the way the utility for some forms has still not been released, the filing time for taxpayers may be reduced. He said that in the last few years, whenever there have been technical problems or delays, CBDT has extended the deadline. This may happen this time too, but it would be too early to say anything right now.

Which people got the benefit?

This deadline has been extended for those salaried employees and HUFs i.e. Hindu Undivided Families whose accounts are not subject to audit. Now these people can file their ITR till 15 September 2025 without late fees.

If you have not filed ITR yet, then now is the time for you. But instead of waiting for the last date, it is better to file the return as soon as possible. So that any technical problem or penalty can be avoided.
