No Extension for ITR Filing Deadline: Income Tax Department Debunks Fake News
Hey folks, if you’ve been scrolling through social media and spotted claims about an extra extension for filing your Income Tax Returns (ITR), hold your horses. The Income Tax Department in India has just cleared the air—no such thing is happening. The deadline stays firm at September 15, 2025, and they’re warning everyone against falling for those viral hoaxes.
In a straightforward post on X (formerly Twitter), the department called out the misinformation. Fake messages have been buzzing around, saying the ITR due date—originally July 31, 2025, and pushed back to September 15—has now stretched to September 30. Not true at all! "The due date for filing ITRs remains 15.09.2025," they emphasized.
To keep things real, the Income Tax Department urges you to stick to their official verified handle, @IncomeTaxIndia, for all updates on income tax filing, deadlines, and tips. Don’t let unverified posts on social media trip you up—it’s all about reliable info straight from the source.
And if you’re stressing over your ITR, help is just a call or click away. Their 24×7 helpdesk is on the job, offering support through phone calls, live chats, WebEx sessions, and even on X. Whether it’s filing your ITR, making tax payments, or sorting out other income tax queries, they’ve got your back round the clock.
This comes hot on the heels of some good news from Saturday. The department shared that over 6 crore ITRs for the Assessment Year 2025-26 are already in, and they’re loving the momentum. "Thank you taxpayers and tax professionals for helping us reach the milestone of 6 crore Income Tax Returns (ITRs) as of now and still counting," they posted on X. They encouraged everyone who hasn’t filed yet to jump in soon and dodge the last-minute chaos.
With September 15 being the big day (that’s Monday!), the reminder is clear: File your ITR on time to skip penalties and interest charges. So, grab those documents and get it done—better safe than sorry! Stay tuned to official channels for any last-minute income tax updates.
