ITR Season 2025: Know the Deadline and Other Important Details
As the ITR season approaches, taxpayers will soon be able to file their returns for the financial year 2025 on the Income Tax portal. The necessary forms for e-filing are likely to be available in the next few days. Based on last year’s trend, the deadline for filing your income tax return is expected to be July 31st.
The portal of the Income Tax Department will be available for filing returns for the AY 2025-26 in the coming days. While no official date has been announced yet, based on previous years, the online ITR forms are typically made available in April. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) usually opens the filing window during the initial months of each financial year.
Last year, the due date for filing ITR for FY24 without late fees was July 31. Taxpayers could still file belated returns until December 31, but with a penalty. For the assessment year 2025-26, it’s expected that the deadline will be similar, with the initial due date falling at the end of July 2025.
Most people now receive the surplus amount within 7 to 20 days, as the Income Tax Department has made the refund process faster over the last few years. But, it comes with the condition that there should not be any mistakes in the filed returns. The taxpayers should immediately verify the return through Aadhar OTP or other avaialable option. Also, make sure your bank account is pre-validated and linked to your PAN card.
To speed up the refund process, taxpayers should gather all necessary documents in advance, such as PAN and Aadhaar cards, Form 16 from your employer, salary slips, interest certificates, capital gains statements, rental income details, and other income proofs.
