ITR submission of the date: Netizens looked over one-day deadline expansion-'servers dead', 'what is the purpose if ...'

Many people went to social media to elicit their frustration when they had problems while filing their income tax returns (ITRS) for the 2025-26 attack. Netizens complained that the ITR portal was down and servers were ‘dead’. Several has also dropped to the government for the extension of the ITR submission expiry date with just one day as the issues continue. “Wow! CBDT has extended ITR deadline by 1 whole day, just to see if their useless portal works for the next 24 hours. What a achievement … What a disgrace,” a user put on social media in X. Meanwhile, an X account has requested the government to consider the expansion for a few more days. “We are professionally not a beggar,” says the post. Another intervention by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed on Monday that the ITR portal “has not been working since four days and that it is dead today!” One even compared ITR-e-filing with IRCTC Tatkal discussion. “Most of the year: #irc is terrible. Tatkal discussion never works, the performance of the website sucks. On the ITR launching: #itr e-filing site sucks. It doesn’t work. Look at IRCTC, how well it handles the Tatkal traffic, it threw it to it! “Most people don’t ask for an expansion because they wake up at the last minute – they ask because the portal simply doesn’t work properly. People have work, responsibilities and deadlines out there. They can’t afford to sit still for hours, just to hope the portal will load,” he said. A user also claimed that “the Infosys-managed e-filing portal crashed below cargo-logins failed, payments broke, the filing had frozen. Taxpayers called it a mockery, not a relief.” Many taxpayers also experienced similar problems on Tuesday (September 16). “And it’s still the same, even after the site’s maintenance. What’s the goal of expanding one more day. I can’t go to the next step from this page. Help me to sort out this issue,” one person said. Did Donald Trump also beat itr -filing system? In the midst of this vast, a false tweet in which US President Donald Trump appeared on social media with India’s ITR filing system.
