Income Tax Return Filing Deadline Extended

The income tax return filing deadline has been extended to August 31, 2026. The extension has been granted due to the technical issues faced by taxpayers on the income tax department's website. The income tax department has also announced that it will provide a facility for taxpayers to file their returns manually in case they are unable to file online. The facility will be available at all income tax offices across the country. Taxpayers can also contact the income tax department's helpline for any assistance or queries.
