Important Changes in ITR Due Dates for AY 2026–27

GUPTA V & ASSOCIATES 08 May 2026 1 min read

The Government has revised certain Income Tax Return (ITR) due dates from AY 2026–27 onwards, especially for non-audit business and professional cases.

Revised ITR Due Dates

Category Due Date
ITR-1 & ITR-2 (Salary / Non-audit individuals) 31 July 2026
ITR-3 & ITR-4 (Non-audit business/profession) 31 August 2026
Audit Cases 31 October 2026
Transfer Pricing Cases 30 November 2026
Belated Return 31 December 2026
Revised Return 31 March 2027

Major Change

The most significant change is the extension of due date for:

  • Non-audit business cases
  • Professionals filing ITR-3/ITR-4
  • Partners of non-audit firms

from 31 July to 31 August.

Further, the due date for filing a Revised Return has also been extended from 31 December to 31 March.

Why This Matters

The extended timelines will provide additional time for:

  • reconciliation of books and GST data,
  • TDS matching,
  • capital gain reporting,
  • and accurate compliance filing.

However, taxpayers should still avoid last-minute filing to prevent portal issues, notices, and late fees.
