ITR Filing 2024-25 Last Date: When is the last date to file income tax return, here is the answer..

ITR Filing 2024-25 Last Date: A last date is approaching for filing Income Tax Return (ITR) for this financial year 2024-25. This is very important for taxpayers to keep in mind. This time, the government has extended the last date, which was originally 31 July 2025, to 15 September 2025.

This means that this time you have got more than a month's extra time to file returns. This increase has been done, especially keeping in mind the newly notified ITR forms and their technical preparations, so that all taxpayers can complete their work comfortably.

Key dates for filing ITR
The last date for filing returns for non-audit cases, such as common man, Hindu Undivided Family (HUF), etc., has been fixed as 15 September 2025. On the other hand, if your case comes under audit, i.e., under section 44AB, then the date for filing your return is 31 October 2025.

The deadline for filing Form 3CEB related to transfer pricing is generally 30 November 2025, but it may change as per the notifications issued by the government from time to time. If you want to file a late return or revised return, then the last date for that is 31 December 2025.

ITR-U: Now file return for 48 months

The facility of filing ITR-U, i.e., updated return, has also been increased this time. According to the new rules, you can now file an income tax return for 48 months. This means that you can file the return for the financial year 2024-25 from 1 January 2026 to 31 March 2030. This facility will be very helpful for those who were not able to file returns till now due to some reason.

What will happen if you do not file the return on time?
If you file your income tax return after the stipulated time limit, then you may have to face both late fees and interest. If your total income is less than Rs 5 lakh, then a maximum penalty of Rs 1,000 will be imposed, while for those with an income of Rs 5 lakh or more, this amount can be up to Rs 5,000. Apart from this, if your tax is due and you file the return late, then under section 234A, interest will be charged at the rate of 1% per month from the next day of the due date.
