Filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) within the prescribed due dates is essential for every taxpayer—whether individual, firm, or company. Over the years, the due dates for filing returns have been revised multiple times through notifications, circulars, and extensions by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), especially for audit cases and international transactions.
This page presents a year-wise compilation of ITR due dates from Assessment Year (AY) 2001-02 to AY 2025-26. It covers due dates for:
- Non-audit cases
- Audit cases under Section 44AB
- Assessees covered under transfer pricing (Section 92E)
Whether you’re a tax professional, practitioner, or compliance officer, this resource helps you track historical changes in filing timelines along with relevant circular or notification references where applicable.
