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.
