Hi everyone,
I'm currently living in the UK and need to file my Income Tax Return (ITR) for Assessment Year (AY) 2026–27 in India. While searching online, I found different due dates on various websites, which has left me a bit confused.
I don't have business income, but I do earn rental income from my apartment in India and interest from my NRO account. Since my return doesn't require a tax audit, I'd like to know the official last date to file ITR for AY 2026–27.
I've also noticed that there are different deadlines for salaried taxpayers, business owners, and taxpayers whose accounts require an audit. Could someone explain which due date applies to which category? Also, if someone misses the due date, is it still possible to file a belated return?
I'm looking for the latest information based on the current rules rather than previous years, as I know filing deadlines can change.
Thanks in advance!
I'm based in the US, and my CA explained that the due date depends on whether your case requires a tax audit.
If you have regular salary, pension, interest income, or rental income and don't need an audit, the July deadline generally applies. Businesses and professionals have different timelines, so it's important to check which category you fall into.
I had the same question recently and checked the Income Tax Department's portal. As of now, the due date for salaried individuals and other eligible taxpayers filing ITR-1 or ITR-2 is 31 July 2026.
I'm an NRI in Canada, and I usually don't wait until the last week because it gives me enough time to fix any AIS or Form 26AS mismatches before filing.

I filed my return from Australia last year close to the deadline and had issues because one of my TDS entries wasn't reflected correctly.
This year, I'm planning to file much earlier. Even if you're eligible to file a belated return later, it's usually better to avoid late filing because there can be additional fees and certain restrictions.
