ITR Filing 2023 Deadline: The deadline for filing ITR has now passed.

Unfortunately, the last day to file ITR without incurring a penalty has passed. Many states in India have been severely affected by floods caused by heavy rainfall, leading to significant destruction and devastation.
Despite numerous requests for an extension of the ITR filing deadline, the government has decided to maintain the original deadline. For taxpayers who haven’t filed their ITR yet, there is still an opportunity to do so until December 31, but they will be required to pay a penalty.
