TAX AUDIT DEADLINE EXTENDED — BUT DON’T MISS THIS IMPORTANT POINT.
CBDT has extended the tax audit and ITR filing deadlines for applicable tax-audit cases for AY 2026–27.
Here are the revised dates:
21 October 2026 → Tax Audit Report
21 November 2026 → Income-Tax Return under Section 139(1)
But there’s a catch.
If you have tax payable, don’t assume that the extension means you can postpone your tax payment.
Pay the tax due by 30 September 2026.
If the payment is made in October, interest under Section 234B may become applicable, depending on your specific circumstances.
So remember:
Audit Report → 21 October
ITR → 21 November
Tax Payment → 30 September
