@ Bunty

All are fervently praying to Almighty for a miracle to happen.

You also start praying.

Itr 2 last date may be extended

This is the best reply of the year.

@ Manoj Punjabi

Which one is the best reply:-

1.Praying to the Almighty 

2. ITR-2 Date extension.

No 2 has to happen or many would be jumping into the sea from the new causeway in Mumbai.

Which Excel utilities you are talking about?

For AY2025-26, only ITR-1 and ITR-4 have been made available till now. 

@ Bunty and others are looking for AY2025-26 ITR-2 utility.

Plz do not confuse innocents.

PRAYING TO ALMIGHTY

is the best reply of the year.

Dear Manoj

Thanks for your appreciation.

very poor state of affairs by IT Department even after boasting the high tech software driven doing automatic and quick processing etc. in practice not much

@ babugr

Loud thinking.

As was announced by CBDT and Finance Ministry, , Data Analytics using AI is being done to catch the tax rogues and penalize them. (I suspect, cost of this exercise is more than the total income tax collection, but thats life. Many are getting employment for this task)

Maybe the AI used for the JOB could not cope up and gone on revolt. Or all Indian Citizens' data is now with China due to leakage through Chinese AI.

So huge huge problem for all of us.

Catching tax rogues was the highest priority, rest was secondery.

Now, tackling our data with China has taken super high priority.

I have similar situation (i.e  ITR1 & 4 only available in my IT portal whareas i need ITR2). Ticket raised via Grievance, IT help desk promised to add ITR2 in my portal & they closed the ticket. Still waiting for ITR2 in my portal. 

@ Kavin Kumar S

I am impressed.

You must be a VVIP, not like us Janata Class.

Since you got an IT Portal exclusively for you.

We Janata class have to crowd into One Single IT portal like in Janata Class Train Coach.

I thought VVIP do not pay taxes unlike Janata Class citizens.

So why do you need ITR-2 ?

CBDT typically activates ITR-1 and ITR-4 first, with ITR-2 and ITR-3 following a few weeks later. For AY 2026-27, ITR-2 was released in offline (XML) utility form but online filing on the portal usually opens by May or June.

 You can prepare your return offline and file as soon as the online mode is enabled. Key changes in ITR-2 this year include a new house property count allowance and capital gains schedule revisions.
