FAQ :

The Gujarat High Court has directed the CBDT to extend the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing deadline for audit cases by one month.

The new likely deadline for ITR filing for audit cases is November 30, 2025, following the court's directive.

The court intervened because the extension of the tax audit report deadline created an illogical situation where taxpayers had to file their ITRs before completing their audits, contradicting the legal requirement of a one-month gap.

The one-month gap ensures fairness and accuracy in tax compliance, allowing taxpayers sufficient time to reconcile financial statements and avoid last-minute errors.

Until the CBDT formally issues a notification, taxpayers are advised to continue their preparations based on the current deadlines but remain alert for the official update.
