ITR Filing Deadlines for AY 2026-27 Set; No Extension Expected This Year

Most salaried individuals must file by July 31, 2026, while non-audit businesses and professionals have until August 31, 2026. Unlike last year, when delays led to deadline extensions, this year’s filing process has been smooth, and experts advise taxpayers to file on time without expecting extensions. Late filing fees may apply under Section 234F, even if no tax is due.
