CBDT Extends Tax Audit Report Deadline to November 10 Amid Disruptions
29 Oct
Summary
- CBDT extends ITR filing deadline for audited taxpayers to December 10, 2025
- Audit report submission deadline extended from October 31 to November 10, 2025
- Deadline extensions due to disruptions from floods and natural calamities
On October 29, 2025, the Income Tax Department announced an extension of the deadline for filing Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for Assessment Year 2025-26. Companies, partnership firms, proprietorships, and other taxpayers who are required to get their accounts audited can now file their returns by December 10, 2025, instead of the earlier deadline of October 31, 2025.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has also extended the due date for submitting the audit report to November 10, 2025. This is a further relaxation from the previous extension, which had pushed the deadline to October 31.
The CBDT cited challenges faced by taxpayers due to floods and natural calamities in several regions, which had disrupted normal business operations and compliance work. Industry bodies and professional associations had requested the deadline extensions, which the department has now granted.
For individual taxpayers, the ITR filing deadline for AY 2025-26 was earlier extended from July 31 to September 16. As of that date, 7.54 crore ITRs had been filed, with 1.28 crore taxpayers paying self-assessment tax.
