The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the deadline for filing belated and revised income tax returns (ITRs) for the Assessment Year 2024-25 by another 15 days till January 15, 2025. The last date to file tax return for AY 2024-25 ended on July 31, 2024 and the deadline for belated and revised ITR filing was December 31, 2024.
