The Income Tax Department announced that taxpayers have submitted more than seven crore returns for the Assessment Year 2025-26 as Monday's September 15 deadline approaches. Department officials expressed appreciation to taxpayers and tax professionals who contributed to achieving this significant filing milestone. Citizens who have not completed their return submissions received encouragement to file immediately.
Round-the-clock assistance remains available through multiple channels for taxpayers requiring support with return filing, payment processing, and related services. The department operates continuous helpdesk services via telephone calls, live chat functions, WebEx meetings, and social media platforms. Officials dismissed circulating reports about deadline extensions on Sunday, labeling such claims as misinformation.
False reports suggested authorities had moved the filing deadline from September 15 to September 30, which the department firmly rejected. The government previously extended the original July 31 deadline to September 15 in May for non-audit cases. Officials noted that increased filing numbers demonstrate growing tax compliance and an expanding taxpayer base nationwide.
