In an effort to assist resident taxpayers, the CBDT has extended the deadline for submitting amended or late income tax returns for AY 2024–2025 to January 15, 2025. Those who need to correct problems in their returns or who missed the original December 31 deadline are eligible for this extension. To avoid fines and interest, timely filing is crucial.

The “Discard” ITR option on the Income Tax Department's website allows taxpayers to permanently delete their filed tax returns. Once discarded, the return can not be retrieved by the taxpayer.
