March 2025 Tax Alert: Miss these deadlines and you could lose exemptions, face fines

March 31 is the last day of the financial year, which is considered a very important date for taxpayers and investors. If you have not yet made the necessary investments to save tax or some important financial work is pending, then it is very important to settle them this month. Whether it is taking advantage of tax exemption under Section 80C, filing updated income tax returns, or completing any important formality related to investment, if you ignore these tasks, it can directly affect your pocket.

In such a situation, see here a complete list of important deadlines that should be kept in mind before the end of March.

It is very important to follow the deadline for filing taxes; otherwise, you will not get the benefit of tax exemption and may have to face a penalty, fine, or additional charges.

Only 13 days are left for the start of the financial year 2025-26; that is, some important deadlines will expire before March 31, 2025. In such a situation, knowing which tax-related work must be completed on time is important.

March 2025: Important deadlines related to income tax
