FAQ :

The Gujarat High Court has questioned the CBDT because it has not extended the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing deadline for FY 2024-25, despite extending the deadline for tax audit reports.

The deadline for filing tax audit reports has been postponed to October 31, 2025.

Tax practitioners argue that the ITR filing deadline should also be extended to November 30, 2025, to align with the extended tax audit report deadline, as per the Income Tax Act.

A previous Gujarat High Court order in September 2024 held that extending the tax audit report deadline without a corresponding ITR filing date extension could contravene the Income Tax Act.

The matter is scheduled for a further hearing on October 6, 2025.
