Quick Summary

For the Assessment Year (AY) 2026-27, corresponding to Financial Year 2025-26, it's crucial to be aware of your Income Tax Return (ITR) filing deadlines. These dates vary based on your taxpayer category and whether your accounts require an audit. Filing on time avoids penalties and ensures benefits like faster refunds and the ability to carry forward losses. If you miss the deadline, you can still file a belated return, though with certain restrictions and potential fees.

Filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) on time is not just a legal obligation but also a smart financial habit. For Financial Year (FY) 202526, which corresponds to Assessment Year (AY) 202627, taxpayers must be aware of the applicable due dates, penalties for delay, and key compliance requirements.
