India, Aug. 2 -- The government has extended the deadline to file Income Tax Returns (ITR) for 2025 to September 15, instead of the usual July 31. Even though the date has been pushed, it's better to file early to avoid errors and to have time to fix any issues.

Filing an ITR is compulsory if your total income exceeds Rs.2.5 lakh under the old tax regime, or Rs.3 lakh under the new one. You must file even if no tax is due. If you delay, you risk making mistakes that can lead to penalties.
