Gujarat, September 27, 2025
The Gujarat High Court has directed the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to extend the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing deadline for audit-case assessees to 30th November 2025. This move could significantly ease compliance pressure for businesses and consultants navigating the audit season.
Key Takeaways
- Extended Timeline: The court emphasized that ITRs for audit cases must align with the extended tax audit deadline, ensuring consistency in statutory timelines.
- Legal Linkage: The judgment highlighted the interdependence of Section 139(1) (ITR filing) and Section 44AB (tax audit). The court noted that extending one without the other creates procedural imbalance.
- CBDT Under Scrutiny: The bench questioned why CBDT didn’t suo moto extend the ITR deadline when the audit due date had already been pushed forward.
What Happens Next?
CBDT is now expected to respond to the High Court’s directive. If implemented, the extension will:
- Provide much-needed breathing room for tax professionals
- Reduce the risk of late filing penalties
- Improve overall compliance efficiency during audit season
All eyes are now on CBDT’s response and how it will impact audit-case assessees.
