FAQ :

The current deadline for filing the Tax Audit Report (TAR) for Assessment Year 2026-27 is 30th September 2026.

A plea has been filed seeking to extend the Tax Audit Report due date from 30th September 2026 to 31st October 2026.

Professionals are concerned due to the extensive work involved in completing tax audits, including verifying financial records, GST data, TDS/TCS records, and various disclosures, within the available time.

According to the CBDT counsel, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has not made any representation regarding the tax audit deadline extension.

The Rajasthan High Court has scheduled the matter for 29th September 2026 to receive final instructions from the CBDT on the proposed deadline extension.

Taxpayers are advised not to wait for the outcome and to continue working towards the existing 30th September 2026 deadline to avoid additional pressure.
