ITR Filing Due Dates — AY 2026-27

For income earned in FY 2025-26, returns are filed in AY 2026-27. Due dates now depend on your category and ITR form — here are the key ones.

31 July 2026

Salaried individuals & pensioners (ITR-1, ITR-2) — non-audit cases

31 Aug 2026

Business & professional income, non-audit (ITR-3, ITR-4)

31 Oct 2026

Audit cases & companies (ITR-5, ITR-6, ITR-7)

Late Filing Fee — Section 234F

Up to ₹5,000 (₹1,000 if total income is ₹5 lakh or below), payable even if your tax is fully paid.

Interest — Section 234A

1% per month on any unpaid tax after the due date — it adds up the longer you wait.

Lost Benefits

Miss the deadline and you can lose the right to carry forward capital, business and F&O losses.

Important for AY 2026-27: although the new Income Tax Act, 2025 has come into force, your return for income earned in FY 2025-26 is still governed by the old Income Tax Act, 1961 — the familiar forms (ITR-1 to ITR-7), deductions and regime choices apply this year. The new Act affects returns you'll file in 2027, not now. We make sure you file under the correct rules.

Choose the Right Form

Which ITR Form Applies to You?

Filing the wrong form can lead to a defective-return notice. Here's a plain-language guide to all seven forms for AY 2026-27 — and if you're unsure, we'll pick the correct one for you.

ITR-1
Sahaj

Salaried & Pensioners

For resident individuals with salary or pension, one or two house properties, and total income up to ₹50 lakh. The simplest return.

ITR-2

Capital Gains & Multiple Incomes

For individuals/HUFs with capital gains — if you sold even one share, mutual fund unit or property — foreign assets, or income above ₹50 lakh, but no business income.

ITR-3

Business & Professional Income

For individuals/HUFs with income from business or profession — including F&O traders, intraday traders, consultants and partners maintaining books.

ITR-4
Sugam

Presumptive Taxation

For small businesses, freelancers and professionals opting for presumptive taxation under Sections 44AD, 44ADA or 44AE, within prescribed turnover limits.

ITR-5

Firms & LLPs

For partnership firms, LLPs, AOPs and BOIs — entities that are not companies but are taxed separately from individuals.

ITR-6

Companies

For all companies (Private Limited, OPC and others) not claiming exemption under Section 11. The return your Pvt Ltd company files each year.

ITR-7

Trusts & Section 8 / NGOs

For trusts, Section 8 companies, NGOs and other entities claiming exemption under specified sections of the Income Tax Act.

Not
Sure?

Let a CA Decide for You

Income from several sources? Crypto, capital gains and salary together? Don't risk the wrong form — tell us your situation and we'll choose and file the right one.

Still unsure which form fits your income? That's exactly what we're here for.

Ask a CA on WhatsApp

For Directors & Companies

One CA for Your Company's Return and Your Own

If you run a Private Limited company or LLP, your company files ITR-6 (or ITR-5), and you as a director file your personal return — usually ITR-2 or ITR-3. Most founders juggle two providers for this. We do both, together, with one CA who knows your whole picture.

Company ITR-6 / LLP ITR-5

Your entity's annual income tax return, prepared in line with your books and audit.

Directors' Personal Returns

Salary, dividends, capital gains and other income — filed correctly for each director.

Consistent, Joined-Up Filing

One CA seeing both sides means fewer mismatches, fewer notices, and cleaner records.

Already on a Compliance Plan?

If you're a QwikFilings compliance or Virtual CFO client, your company ITR and directors' returns are already included — nothing extra to arrange.

Old vs New — AY 2026-27

Which Tax Regime Should You Choose?

India offers two tax regimes, and picking the right one can save you a significant amount. The best choice depends entirely on your income and deductions — here's how they compare, and how we help you decide.

Default Regime

New Tax Regime

  • Basic exemption ₹4 lakh — uniform across all ages
  • Income up to ₹12 lakh effectively tax-free via Section 87A rebate (up to ₹60,000)
  • ₹75,000 standard deduction for salaried — tax-free up to ₹12.75 lakh
  • Lower rates, far simpler — minimal paperwork
  • Most deductions (80C, HRA, etc.) not available
Deduction-Friendly

Old Tax Regime

  • Full deductions — 80C, 80D, HRA, LTA, home loan interest & more
  • ₹50,000 standard deduction for salaried
  • 87A rebate up to ₹12,500 (income up to ₹5 lakh)
  • Often better if you have large investments or a home loan
  • More paperwork; you must opt out of the default

So which one is right for you?

As a rule of thumb: if you have few deductions, the new regime's lower rates and higher rebate usually win. If you have significant 80C investments, HRA, or home loan interest, the old regime may save you more. The only way to be sure is to calculate both — which is exactly what we do for every client before filing, so you never overpay.

Figures shown are for AY 2026-27 (FY 2025-26). Tax rules can change each year — we always file under the current applicable rules.

After You File

Filing Is Just the Start — We Stay With You

A return isn't done when it's submitted. From e-verification to refunds to any department queries, we make sure your filing is fully closed out — and we're here if anything comes up later.

E-Verification

A return isn't valid until it's verified within the allowed window. We ensure your ITR is e-verified properly so it doesn't lapse into an invalid filing.

Refund Tracking

If you're due a refund, we help you track it through processing and flag any mismatch that could delay it — so your money reaches you faster.

Notice Handling

Received a notice or query from the Income Tax Department? Because a CA prepared your return, we can help you understand and respond to it correctly.

Revised Returns

Spotted an error or missed something after filing? A revised return can be filed within the allowed period — we'll correct it cleanly if needed.

Many filers feel abandoned the moment they hit submit on a tax app. With QwikFilings, a real CA stays reachable on WhatsApp — for this year's filing and whatever comes after.

Questions

ITR Filing — Frequently Asked

It depends on your income sources. Salaried with simple income use ITR-1; anyone with capital gains (shares, mutual funds, property) uses ITR-2; business or professional income uses ITR-3; presumptive taxation uses ITR-4; firms and LLPs use ITR-5; companies use ITR-6; and trusts/NGOs use ITR-7. Filing the wrong form can trigger a defective-return notice — so if you're unsure, we'll identify and file the correct one for you.
For AY 2026-27 (income earned in FY 2025-26), salaried individuals (ITR-1, ITR-2) generally have until 31 July 2026; non-audit business and professional cases (ITR-3, ITR-4) until 31 August 2026; and audit cases and companies until 31 October 2026. A belated return can usually be filed later with late fees and interest. We'll confirm the exact date for your case.
No. For AY 2026-27, your return covers income earned in FY 2025-26, which is still governed by the old Income Tax Act, 1961 — the familiar ITR forms, deductions and old/new regime choices apply. The new Income Tax Act, 2025 affects returns you'll file in 2027. Don't let the news about the new Act confuse this year's filing — we make sure you file under the correct rules.
You can still file a belated return, but a late fee under Section 234F applies — up to ₹5,000 (₹1,000 if total income is ₹5 lakh or below) — along with interest at 1% per month on unpaid tax under Section 234A. You may also lose the ability to carry forward certain losses. Filing on time avoids all of this, which is why we encourage filing early.
Yes — that's one of our strengths. We file your company's ITR-6 (or your LLP's ITR-5) and your personal director's return together, with one CA who understands your full picture. If you're on our compliance or Virtual CFO plan, both are already included in your package.
Yes. Crypto/VDA income, F&O and intraday trading, and capital gains from shares, mutual funds or property all need careful, correct treatment — exactly the kind of complex filing where a CA-led approach matters most. These are handled under our complex-filing service, with your return fully reviewed before submission.
