CBDT finally extends due date of furnishing any audit reports 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

Earlier Rajasthan High Court had directed CBDT to issue notification to extend TAR date and Karnataka High Court has extended the due date to 31.102025.

CBDT has issued Circular No. 14/2025 extending the due dates of audit.

As per available information, 11 Petitions have been filed so far at four High Courts. Keep yourself updated. It is learnt that Rajasthan High Court has directed CBDT to issue notification to extend TAR date whereas Karnataka High Court has passed order extending the due date to 31.10.2025. However copy of order is awaited. However the question remains if the Govt would challenge the order or not.

If more High Courts extends the due date, it would be difficult for the Govt to no to issue Notification for extension.
