The major question among all taxpayers right now is: When is the deadline of the ITR filing this season?

ITR Filing Deadline 2025

Usually, the last date to file an ITR for a given year is July 31 for non-audit taxpayers. The tax department earlier extended the deadline to allow all taxpayers enough time to file the ITR on time, but it happened only in rare stances. It is advisable to file your ITR before the deadline to avoid late filing glitches.

In case, someone still misses the deadline, he/she can file a belated return by December 31, 2025 with penalties and interest.

Those individuals and professionals who require an audit can file the ITR before October 31, 2025.

Income Tax Return (ITR): All Forms

An income tax return (ITR) form is a format in which income is reported to the tax department for tax payments. The choice of the correct ITR form is crucial, as filing the wrong one may lead to rejection or penalties.

From salaried individuals to businesses, trusts, and NGOs, there’s a specific ITR form for each taxpayer.

What Is Form 16 And When Will It Be Issued? 

Salaried taxpayers receive Form 16 from their employers 15 days after the TDS is processed and appears in Form 26AS. Therefore, a salaried individual must wait until June 15 or later for their employer to release Form 16 before filing the ITR. However, it is not mandatory to have Form 16 to file an ITR; this can be done using Form 26AS and other documents.
