What is the last date for income tax return filing for FY 2025-26?

For FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27), individuals and salaried taxpayers without an audit requirement must file by 31st July 2026; tax-audit cases now get until 21st November 2026. Missed that? A belated return is still possible up to 31st December 2026, but attracts a Section 234F late fee of ₹1,000–₹5,000, plus 1% per month interest under Section 234A on any unpaid tax.

What is the income tax slab for FY 2025-26 under the new tax regime?

New tax regime (default from FY 2024-25): up to ₹3 lakh — nil; ₹3–7 lakh — 5%; ₹7–10 lakh — 10%; ₹10–12 lakh — 15%; ₹12–15 lakh — 20%; above ₹15 lakh — 30%. Section 87A rebate makes effective tax zero for income up to ₹7 lakh. Under the old regime: nil up to ₹2.5 lakh; 5% up to ₹5 lakh; 20% up to ₹10 lakh; 30% above.
