Due date extended; now you can file your income tax returns till September 15  

The extension was necessitated to prepare Income Tax systems to incorporate changes in ITR forms and roll out the utilitie

he Income Tax department on Tuesday extended the due date for filing ITRs for Assessment Year (AY) 2025-26 to September 15 from July 31.

The extension applies to individuals, HUFs and entities who do not need to get their accounts audited. They can now file their tax return for income earned in the 2024-25 (April-March) fiscal by September 15.

In a statement, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said the extension was necessitated to prepare Income Tax systems to incorporate changes in ITR forms and roll out the utilities.

This year, ITR forms for AY26 were notified in late April and early May against the previous year’s practice of notifying them in January/February.

“To facilitate a smooth and convenient filing experience for taxpayers, it has been decided that the due date for filing ITR, originally due on July 31, is extended to September 15,” the CBDT said.

The notified ITRs for AY2025-26 have “undergone structural and content revisions” aimed at simplifying compliance, enhancing transparency and enabling accurate reporting. These changes have necessitated additional time for system development, integration and testing of the corresponding utilities, it added.

Furthermore, credits arising from TDS statements, due for filing by May 31, are expected to begin reflecting in early June, limiting the effective window for return filing in the absence of such an extension, the statement said.

The government has notified the income tax return forms 1 and 4, filed by individuals, HUFs and entities with total income up to Rs 50 lakh a year and who do not have to get their accounts audited, for the assessment year 2025-26 on April 29.

Now, entities with long-term capital gains of up to Rs 1.25 lakh from listed equities can show such income in ITR 1 and 4. Earlier, they were required to file ITR-2.

The government has also made certain changes in the form, with regard to deductions claimed under 80C, 80GG and other sections and has provided a drop-down menu in the utility for tax filers to select from. Also, assessees will have to furnish in the ITR section-wise details with regard to TDS deductions.

Under the I-T law, LTCG of up to Rs 1.25 lakh from the sale of listed shares and mutual funds are exempt from tax. Gains exceeding Rs 1.25 lakh/annum are subject to 12.5 per cent tax.

Usually, the ITR forms are notified before the end of the fiscal, mostly around January/February. This time, however, the ITR forms and the filing utility got delayed as revenue department officials were preoccupied with the new Income Tax Bill, which was introduced in Parliament in February.

Col. Virender Thapar is on his way to Drass, near Kargil — a journey he makes every single year.

Every Year, He Walks Into the Land Where His Son Never Returned…

At IGI Airport, a humble figure waits quietly in line at the departure gate. Not for a vacation. Not for a business trip.But for an emotional pilgrimage.

Col. Virender Thapar is on his way to Drass, near Kargil — a journey he makes every single year.

It’s the final resting place of his 22-year-old son, Lt. Vijyant Thapar, who laid down his life during the 1999 Kargil War.Before his final mission, Lt. Vijyant wrote a heart-wrenching letter to his parents, asking his father to one day visit the place where he and his fellow soldiers stood their ground… and fell.

Col. Thapar has honoured that promise — every year, without fail.

No cameras. No headlines. Just a father keeping a promise to a son… and to his nation.This is not just a story of war.It’s a story of love, duty, and the unbreakable bond between a soldier and his family.

May we never forget their sacrifice. 🙏🏻


Army newsletter tells how Operation Sindoor was monitored live

The Indian military leadership were together in an Army ops room-type facility in the South Block watching the strikes unfold live

Indian Army’s internal newsletter has shared details of Operation Sindoor and how the operation was being monitored live by the three service chiefs as well as the Chief of Defence Staff General, Anil Chauhan.

The Indian military leadership were together in an Army ops room-type facility in the South Block watching the strikes unfold live. The latest edition of the Army’s newsletter ‘Baatcheet’ focuses on Operation Sindoor and has pictures of the senior military leadership watching the live-feed on giant TV screens in front of them.

Chief of Defence Staff Gen Anil Chauhan, Army chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi, IAF chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh Tripathi, Army Vice Chief Lt Gen NS Raja Subramani and Director General Military Operations Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai were among those present.

The Army commanders of Northern Command, Western  Command, South Western command and Southern Command joined in live through a secured data link.

The unique facility in South Block gets live transmission from multiple systems like satellites, drones and airborne sensors. Some of the missiles fired on May 7 at terror camps have the ability to relay back the video from its nose-tip during its flight.

The newsletter also mentioned that Army air defence had destroyed nearly 300 incoming Pakistani drones using L-70, ZU-23 guns, OSA-AK combat vehicles, and MRSAM (Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Missile) and Akash air defence systems.

The newsletter also names the creators of the Operation Sindoor logo — Lt Col Harish Gupta and Havildar Surinder Singh.

The Army newsletter stated that The Resistance Front (TRF) was a front of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) along with the ‘Kashmir Fight’ and the United Liberation Front Kashmir. It added that Kashmir Tigers and People’s Anti-Fascist Front are frontal organisations of the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM).

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today conducted a review of the performance of eight public sector undertakings (PSUs) controlled by the Defence Ministry.

A statement of the ministry said that Singh, citing the prevailing geopolitical scenario and the recent developments with Pakistan, directed the PSU’s to enhance their production with latest technologies focusing more on research and development.

He lauded the industry for developing products that demonstrated India’s defence preparedness during Operation Sindoor.

d, “The government remains committed to strengthening the defence industrial base and enhancing the competitiveness of the defence public sector undertakings (DPSUs).”

At the meeting, Secretary Defence Production Sanjeev Kumar presented the growth statistics of the industry and the PSUs. The value of defence production is poised to be more than Rs 1,40,000 crore for Financial Year 2024-25 and out of this, around 78 per cent would be contributed by PSUs, he added.

The meeting was attended by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL), Bharat Electronics Limited, Bharat Dynamics Limited, Mishra Dhatu Nigam Limited (MIDHANI), Garden Reach Shipbuilders and Engineers Limited (GRSE), Goa Shipyard Limited (GSL) and BEML Limited.

10 Naxalites carrying Rs 38 lakh bounty among 18 surrender in Chhattisgarh

Maoist commander killed in Jharkhand

Days after Operation Black Forest and the Abujhmad encounter, where top Naxal commander Nambala Keshava Rao was killed, 18 Naxalites on Tuesday surrendered before the security forces in Chhattisgarh’s Sukma district.

The state police said of these, 10 carried a cumulative bounty of Rs 38 lakh. The cadres turned themselves in before the senior police and the CRPF officials, citing disappointment with “hollow” and “inhuman” Maoist ideology and atrocities by militants on local tribals, Sukma SP Kiran Chavan said during a media interaction.

They said they were also impressed by the state government’s ‘Niyad Nellanar’ (‘Your Good Village’) initiative, which is aimed at facilitating development works in remote villages and the new surrender and rehabilitation policy.

Chavan further said the surrendered Naxalites, Madkam Aayta (25), a platoon party committee member in Maoists’s PLGA battalion No. 1 and Bhaskar (alias Bhogam Lakhha) (26), a party member in the same battalion, carried a reward of Rs 8 lakh each.

Madkam Kamlu (25) and Laxman (alias Madvi Chhannu) (28), both area committee members of Maoists, carried a reward of Rs 5 lakh each, while six others had a bounty of Rs 2 lakh each.

The Naxalites, who have surrendered, were provided an assistance of Rs 50,000 each and would be further rehabilitated as per the government’s policy, the Sukma SP said further.

Last year, 792 Naxalites had surrendered in the Bastar region, which comprised seven districts, including Sukma. The development comes less than a week after the May 21 Abujhmad encounter, in which Basavaraju, the general secretary of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist), was killed.

Earlier, during the three-week Operation Black Forest, the security forces killed 31 ultras, half of them women, after attacking their base on the Karreguttalu Hills in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district.

Meanwhile, a commander of the banned CPI (Maoist) was killed in a gunfight with security forces in Jharkhand’s Palamu district, a senior police official said on Tuesday.

Another red rebel, carrying a bounty of Rs 15 lakh, has also been injured in the encounter. Several weapons, including a self-loading rifle, were recovered during the search operation after the gunfight.


Sikh food charity serves free hot meals to flood-hit Aussies

Farmer Mark Kappa was enjoying his first hot drink in three days as he waited patiently for his meal in front of a food truck run by a Sikh charity, after incessant rain in Australia’s southeast cut off towns and forced thousands to evacuate their homes.

Melbourne-based Sikh Volunteers Australia travelled nearly 1,200 km (746 miles) to the rural town of Taree in New South Wales, one of the worst-hit from last week’s floods in Australia’s most populous state, to set up their mobile kitchen in the parking area of a hardware store.

“They said about 20 minutes or so, I’ll tuck in then,” Kappa said as the volunteers prepared pasta, rice and vegetarian curry.

More than 50,000 people in the Hunter and Mid North coast regions of New South Wales, around 300 km (186 miles) north of Sydney, were isolated last week after fast-rising waters burst river banks, destroyed homes and washed away roads.

Five deaths have been linked to the floods.

“We’ve had no power for three days out at the farm. We lost our milk. We lost everything,” Kappa said.

After serving almost 3,000 fresh meals over the last three days, Sikh Volunteers Australia head Jaswinder Singh said: “In times of disasters, I’ve seen the spirit of the Australians come even better, closer to each other … so that’s a good thing. That has a very positive impact.”

Despite the small space available, the charity has been distributing food neatly packed in small boxes.

“To be able to know that you can turn up and just get some food is – it’s just heart-warming,” said Ashari Hudson, who was picking up food for a friend hit by floods.

The Sikh volunteers have provided free food since 2017 during several crises, including bush fires and floods. Australia has been hit with increasing extreme weather events that some experts say are the result of climate change. Following droughts and devastating bushfires at the end of last decade, frequent floods have wreaked havoc since early 2021.
