The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) on Monday announced a one-day extension for the filing of Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for the AY 2025-26. The due date, previously extended from July 31, to September 15, has now been further extended to September 16 (Tuesday), providing taxpayers with additional time to comply with their filing obligations.

Taxpayers have been urged to utilise the additional time to ensure accurate and timely filing. They are advised to plan their submissions accordingly to avoid any disruptions.

The Income Tax Department on Monday said over 7 crore I-T returns had been filed as the filing deadline closed in, amid netizens complaining of glitches on the portal and demanding an extension.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
