Online ITR Filing: If you need to file ITR-1 or ITR-4, you can now do it online. The Income Tax Department shared this update on X (formerly Twitter).
According to their tweet, both ITR-1 and ITR-4 forms are now available for online filing.
Prefilled details for the financial year 2024–25 (assessment year 2025–26) are also ready for taxpayers.
This year, the last date to file your ITR is 15 September 2025. If you miss the deadline, you may have to pay a fine—₹1,000 if your income is below ₹5 lakh, and ₹5,000 if it’s above ₹5 lakh.
