ITR Deadline Extended 2025: 5.3 Crore Returns Filed

The government has extended the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing deadline for 2025, providing relief to taxpayers who needed more time to complete their submissions. Despite the extension announced in May, over 5.3 crore returns have already been filed, reflecting strong compliance.

Officials noted that the extension aims to reduce last-minute rush and ensure smoother processing on the portal. Taxpayers are encouraged to complete their filings at the earliest to avoid penalties and late fees, as the new deadline will not likely be extended further.
