Income Tax Return filing deadlines for Assessment Year 2026–27 (Financial Year 2025–26), including all ITR forms, audit cases, and revised return windows.
Chartrd auto-loads every ITR deadline for every client, sends WhatsApp reminders to your clients from your own number, and assigns filings to your staff. Free 30-day trial.
You can file a belated return up to 31st December 2026, but lose certain benefits — carry-forward of business losses, exemption under Section 10A/10B, and you may face late filing fee of ₹5,000 (₹1,000 if income is under ₹5 lakh).
For most individual clients ITR-1 or ITR-2. For business clients ITR-3 or ITR-4. For company clients ITR-6. Chartrd auto-tags every client with their applicable form so your team always knows which to file.
For taxpayers whose turnover exceeds ₹1 crore in business or ₹50 lakh in profession, a tax audit under Section 44AB is mandatory. Audit report (Form 3CD) is due 30th September 2026, and ITR (typically ITR-3, 5, or 6) is due 31st October 2026.
No. Revised returns must be filed by 31st December 2026 (end of AY). After that, only ITR-U (Updated Return under Section 139(8A)) is allowed, which permits late filing for up to 4 years from end of AY but requires payment of additional tax (25% in year 1, 50% in year 2, etc.).
Chartrd preloads every client's applicable ITR form and due date, lets clients upload Form 16 / TDS certificates / capital gains statements directly via the client portal, sends WhatsApp reminders 14/7/3/1 days before the deadline, and shows your team a single dashboard of which clients still owe what filings.
