New Delhi, July 30 -- Today is 30 July, and we are just a day away from the 31 July deadline for submission of income tax returns (ITRs). All eligible taxpayers who have yet to complete the filing and e-verification of their income tax returns must not delay it further.

In a post on X late yesterday, the income tax department urged eligible taxpayers to avoid the last-minute rush and submit their returns on time. "Over 5 crore ITRs filed for AY 2026-27. Don't wait until the deadline. File your ITR-1 and ITR-2 today," the department said, reiterating that 31 July is the due date for individuals required to file these two return forms.

This is important as timely compliance can have significant benefits for your financial future.
