<h1>National tax practitioners seek extensions for AY 2025-26 ITR, tax-audit report and audit ITR filing deadlines</h1> A national tax practitioners' association has petitioned the tax authority for extensions of filing deadlines for assessment year 2025-26, seeking to move non-audit ITR due from Sept 15 to Oct 15, tax audit reports from Sept 30 to Oct 31, and audit ITRs from Oct 31 to Nov 30. The request cites floods, landslides, portal technical glitches, delayed release of forms and utilities, discrepancies in data statements, new financial-statement formats for non-corporates, and festival-related disruptions. The association also filed a writ petition in the high court seeking judicial directions to extend the deadlines.
