<h1>Tax authority extends corporate audited-accounts return deadline to December 10; audit reports now due November 10</h1> The tax authority has extended the due date for furnishing Returns of Income for Assessment Year 2025-26 by corporates and assessees required to have audited accounts from October 31 to December 10, and has extended the deadline for filing audit reports to November 10. The move follows earlier deadline relaxations and industry representations citing disruptions from floods and natural calamities. Individual and HUF filing deadlines were previously extended for AY 2025-26; a large volume of returns and self-assessment tax payments had been filed under those extensions.
