The Income Tax Department has advised taxpayers to complete the filing of their Income Tax Returns (ITR) for Assessment Year 2026-27 well before the due date to avoid unnecessary penalties, late fees, and interest liabilities.
Taxpayers are encouraged to reconcile their financial details and file ITR-1 and ITR-2 on or before 31st July 2026 to ensure a smooth and timely compliance process. Early filing can help taxpayers avoid last-minute issues and complete their tax obligations without additional charges.
Taxpayers can file their returns through the official Income Tax e-filing portal at incometax.gov.in.
