Income tax: 7.3 crore yields already submitted; Last year's figure surpassed - checking details

The Department of Income Tax (IT) announced on Monday that more than 7.3 crore yields have already been submitted, which has surpassed last year’s figure. Last year, a total of 7.28 crore returns were filed until the last date, ie July 31, of which about 70 lakh itrs were submitted on the last day. This means that if the same number of taxpayers (70 lakh) file Tuesday, the total number of ITRs submitted to AY 2025-26 would cross 8 crore this time. ‘A record 7.3 crore plus ITRs were submitted to September 15, 2025, which exceeded last year’s 7.28 crore. We thank the taxpayers and professionals for their timely compliance. To facilitate further filing of ITRs, the expiry date was extended on one day (September 16, 2025), ‘the income tax division tweeted. The tweet was especially placed on September 15, while the maximum returns were submitted last year on the last day of the deadline. This means that the total number can even affect 8 crore as a large number of taxpayers today submit their returns. Portal Blitches Problem Taxmakers Although the Income Tax Portal is faster than yesterday, there are still some errors, tax filers claim. “Today it works, but there are some mistakes. The site shows a random error. The job, which lasts 3 hours yesterday, only lasts one hour, while it is ideal,” says Ca Chirag Chauhan, a chartered accountant in Mumbai. On social media, a number of Netizens condemned infosys for the errors in the IT portal, which caused the taxpayers many problems that reportedly took much longer than usual to submit their returns. One user wrote on X (formerly Twitter): ‘Why do people wait until the last day to submit ITR if they know the’ big ‘website built by the’ big ‘infosys on that day? Yet the last day is also intended for submission so that the site has to work. If you wait until the last few days, our website will collapse under its own greatness, and we will not take responsibility. ‘Another user, Rakesh Jain, wrote:’ The current state of the income tax portal is pathetic, slow, glitchy and non-functional. Taxpayers and professionals are helpless. ‘Meanwhile, if you miss the last date, you can still submit your tax return, but you have to pay a fine of £ 5,000 and extra interest for the delay. It is therefore recommended to utilize the one -day expansion and submit the tax return in time. Visit here for all updates for personal finance
