CBDT extends due date of filing audit reports for AY 2025-26 from 30.09.2025 to 31.10.2025
CBDT finally bow down to the pressure and demands for extension of due dates for furnishing audit reports from 30.09.2025 to 31.10.2025. The decision of the CBDT to extend due date came after High Court of Rajasthan & Karnataka has already extended the due date for filing audit reports.

CBDT finally extended the due date of 15.09.2025 by only one day i.e. to 16.09.2025 for filing Income Tax Return despite lots of hue and cry made by tax professionals for the technical glitches in tax efiling portal as reported by income tax return filers across the country.

Response Error
It leaves no doubt that the return filers were facing extreme conditions and efiling portal was overwhelmed by the load on its server creating errors.
It is imperative that the CBDT/Finance Minister can not ignore the problem faced by the return filers and extension order can be issued at any time before the expiry of the due date of 15.09.2025.
Please Bookmark this page and return to see the extension order when issued. We will be updating the page as and when the extension is officially announced.
