The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) extended the last date of filing income tax returns for the assessment year (AY) 2025-26 to September 15, 2025, from July 31, 2025.
The taxpayers and tax professionals made their compliances in time, leading to a surge in filing of ITRs which resulted in a new record of ITRs filed, it said.
Over 2.65 crore ITR-1 have been filed till December 31, 2020, lower than the 3.09 crore filed till August 31, 2019
