15-day relief in income tax filing by companies

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the due date for filing income tax returns by companies for the assessment year 2024-25 by 15 days till November 15.

CBDT announced the deadline extension in a circular on Saturday, four days ahead of the original deadline of October 31. 

The Income Tax department also posted the deadline extension on its social media account on X.

The extension, however, does not apply to the Tax Audit Report, transfer pricing certification in Form 3CEB, and other income tax forms like Form 10DA for which the previous deadline of October 31, would be followed, stated chartered accountant firms.
