India sets firm September 15 deadline for tax filings despite e-filing portal issues.

The Indian Income Tax Department has confirmed that the ITR filing deadline for the assessment year 2025-26 is September 15, with no further extensions despite glitches on the official e-filing portal. Taxpayers have faced issues like slow speeds, login failures, and payment disruptions. Over 6.69 crore returns were filed by September 14. Those waiting for refunds can expect delays based on refund amounts and return complexities, with interest at 6% per annum starting April 1.
