I'm an NRI currently living in Germany and getting ready to file my Income Tax Return (ITR) in India for Assessment Year (AY) 2026–27. While gathering my tax documents, I noticed several websites mentioning that the ITR filing date has been extended, but the information isn't consistent.
I have rental income from a property in Pune, interest from my NRO account, and some capital gains from mutual funds. Since this is only my second time filing as an NRI, I want to make sure I'm following the correct deadline.
Can someone confirm whether the ITR filing due date has officially been extended? If yes, does it apply to all individual taxpayers and NRIs, or only to certain categories? Also, if I file before the extended deadline, will it make any difference in terms of processing refunds or responding to any notices?
I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who has already checked the official notification or recently filed their return. I know tax rules and deadlines can change, so I'd rather rely on verified information than social media posts.
I'm based in Canada and spoke with my CA this week. He also confirmed that many of the extension messages circulating online are based on speculation or previous years.
For my case, since I don't require a tax audit, I'm following the original due date. I always recommend checking the official Income Tax e-filing portal instead of relying on WhatsApp forwards or social media posts.
I checked the Income Tax Department portal yesterday because I had the same question. As of now, there is no official notification extending the ITR filing due dates for AY 2026–27.
If you're an individual taxpayer filing ITR-1 or ITR-2, the due date remains 31 July 2026. I decided not to wait because extensions are never guaranteed, and I prefer getting my return filed early.

One thing worth mentioning is that the deadline depends on your taxpayer category.
My business is subject to a tax audit, so my due date is different from my wife's, who files as a salaried individual. Before assuming an extension applies, make sure you're looking at the correct due date for your type of return.
Tax rules and notifications can change, but until an official announcement is issued, I follow the published deadlines.
