Failing to do so will trigger <strong>interest under Section 234A<\/strong>, potentially increasing your tax burden. This distinction is crucial for taxpayers with additional tax dues beyond TDS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Refund Interest: A Welcome Bonus for Some<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The extension also has an upside. Under <strong>Section 244A<\/strong>, taxpayers eligible for refunds may earn interest from <strong>April 1<\/strong>, regardless of the revised filing date. This means a potential <strong>33% increase in refund interest<\/strong>, offering a slight financial boost\u2014though this interest is <strong>taxable<\/strong> and must be reported in the ITR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Penalties, Belated Returns, and Deadlines to Remember<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Missing the <strong>September 15<\/strong> deadline will invite penalties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rs 5,000<\/strong> for incomes above Rs 5 lakh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rs 1,000<\/strong> for lower incomes (under Section 234F)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can still:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>File <strong>belated or revised returns<\/strong> until <strong>December 31, 2025<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit <strong>updated returns (ITR-U)<\/strong> up to <strong>March 31, 2030<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Filing Early Is Still a Good Idea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the extended deadline, experts advise salaried taxpayers to <strong>file early<\/strong>. Delaying till the last minute may expose you to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Server crashes on the e-filing portal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Errors in TDS or AIS data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Missed payments leading to interest charges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Filing sooner ensures peace of mind and faster processing of refunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong><br>The extension is a relief but comes with caveats. Pay taxes on time, review Form 26AS and AIS carefully, and file your ITR well before September 15 to avoid last-minute stress and financial penalties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent circular, the CBDT extended the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing deadline for non-audit cases\u2014including salaried taxpayers\u2014for the Assessment Year 2025-26.
