What is the last date to file my ITR this year?

Short answerFor most individuals (no audit), the due date to file the return for FY 2025-26 is 31 July 2026. If your accounts need audit, it’s later (around 31 October). After the due date you can still file a belated return up to 31 December, but with a late fee.

The key dates

  • 31 July 2026 — non-audit individuals (AY 2026-27)
  • ~31 October — audit cases
  • 31 December — belated/revised return

Confirm exact dates, as they’re sometimes extended.

If you miss it

You can file belated with a fee, but you lose some loss carry-forwards.
