ITR filing AY 2025-26: September 15 is final — file on your phone without a CA
The ITR deadline for AY 2025-26 is September 15 for non-audit taxpayers after a CBDT extension. You can file without a CA using mobile-friendly tools and prefilled data. Miss it and face a late fee up to ₹5,000 and 1% monthly interest on tax due. Belated and revised returns are allowed till December 31, 2025. Despite glitches and delays, the Finance Ministry isn’t likely to extend again.
