The Indian government has extended the Income Tax Returns (ITR) filing deadline for 2025 to September 15, giving taxpayers extra time. However, it’s advisable to file early to minimize errors and ensure any issues can be addressed promptly. If your income exceeds ₹2.5 lakh under the old tax regime or ₹3 lakh under the new one, filing is mandatory, even if no tax is owed. Delaying can lead to mistakes and potential penalties, so it’s best to stay ahead of the deadline.
