Symbolic picture.

Today (15 September) is the last date for filing Income Tax Return (ITR). If you have not filed the return, then do definitely do it, otherwise you will have to face the penalty of the tax department. A news of extending the last date for filling the same ITR is becoming viral on social media, which has denied it that the Income Tax Department has described it as fake.

The rumor claimed that the last date to file ITR, which was earlier extended from 31 July to 15 September, has now been extended to 30 September. However, the Income Tax Department has described this news as completely fake.

Taxpayers stay away from rumors

The Income Tax Department has advised taxpayers to rely only on the official ‘X’ update. He said that our Helpdesk is working on 24 × 7 basis to assist taxpayers in ITR filing, tax payment and other related services. We are providing assistance through calls, live chats, webx sessions and Twitter, X.

Fake letter went viral

Let us know that a fake letter went viral on social media, in which it is written that CBDT has extended the last date for filing ITR to be held till September 15. Keeping in view the time required for the preparation and rollout of the system of utilities, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has decided to extend the last date for filing returns.

15 days time has already been found

For this year, the Income Tax Department had extended the old last date of July 31 to 15 September 2025, so that people could get more time. But after this, the tax department is continuously sending reminder to file an ITR till the scheduled time. If you are filing income tax returns on the last day, then you do not have to come under the guise of any fake news and ITR has to be filed today.
