Over 7.3 Crore People Filed ITR by Sept 15, More Than Last Year: CBDT

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) released an official notification announcing the due date extension of the Income Tax Return (ITR) for the Assessment Year 2024-25. In a post shared by CBDT on Platform X, it said that the number of ITRs filed till September 15, 2025, has exceeded last year’s number of ITRs filed.

A record of over 7.3 crore ITRs were filed till September 15, surpassing last year’s 7.28 crore. To facilitate further filings of ITRs, the due date has been extended by one day (16th September 2025),” the CBDT posted on X.

The Income Tax Department had earlier shared a guide on fixing the browser issues for the taxpayers filing ITR. The department, in a post shared on platform X, said that, “Having difficulty accessing the Income Tax e-Filing Portal? Sometimes, access difficulties with the Income Tax e-Filing Portal may arise due to local system/browser settings. These simple steps often help resolve such issues.”

However, these steps did not help taxpayers, as the portal still glitches. Many Chartered Accountants and other professional bodies have shared their experience on social media platforms, highlighting the Income Tax Portal’s technical errors while making payments and downloading the Annual Information Statement (AIS). Even on Monday, many taxpayers were not able to log in to the e-filing portal.

Responding to complaints about problems with uploading ITR and making tax payments, the Income Tax Department clarified earlier in the day that the e-filing portal is working properly. They advised users to clear their browser cache or try using a different browser if they are facing issues.

On September 14, the Income Tax Department replied to a user who was claiming that there were issues while downloading AIS/TIS. The department replied that the facilities were functioning normally. It suggested users try again. If problems continued, users were asked to send their details, along with their mobile number and public IP address, to [email protected].
