More than six crore income tax returns for Assessment Year 2025-26 have been filed so far, the Income Tax department said on Saturday.
The last date to file ITRs without penalty is September 15.
“Thank you taxpayers & tax professionals for helping us reach the milestone of 6 crore Income Tax Returns (ITRs) as of now and still counting,” the I-T department said in a post on X.
To assist taxpayers for ITR filing, tax payment and other related services, our helpdesk is functioning on a 24×7 basis, and the department is providing support through calls, live chats, WebEx sessions & Twitter/X, it added.
It also asked taxpayers who haven’t filed ITR for AY 2025-26 to file at the earliest to avoid a last-minute rush.
The Income Tax department in May announced an extension of the due date for filing ITRs for Assessment Year (AY) 2025-26 (for income earned in financial year 2024-25) by individuals, HUFs and entities who do not have to get their accounts audited from July 31 to September
