CBDT has extended the tax audit report filing deadline from September 30 to October 31, 2025. This move provides businesses and professionals with extra time to prepare and submit accurate reports.
Taxpayers have received much-needed relief as the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the deadline for filing tax audit reports. Earlier set for September 30, 2025, the new deadline is now October 31, 2025. This extension offers additional time to businesses and professionals to file reports accurately without last-minute pressure.
Tax Audit Deadline Extended
There is relief for taxpayers as the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has announced an extension for filing tax audit reports. The new deadline is now October 31, 2025, instead of the earlier September 30, 2025. This decision gives businesses and professionals much-needed extra time to complete their reports without rushing.
Why the Deadline Was Extended
The CBDT had initially set September 30 as the last date for submitting audit reports. However, due to rising workload, technical challenges, and administrative requirements, many taxpayers and professionals faced difficulties in meeting the original deadline. Considering these issues, the board decided to extend the due date by one month.
This step not only helps businesses complete their audit reports properly but also ensures accuracy in filing. With more time, taxpayers can focus on compiling the necessary documents and meeting compliance standards without last-minute pressure.
Relief for Businesses and Professionals
The extension comes as a major relief for companies, firms, and professionals who were finding it difficult to balance daily operations along with compliance tasks. Now, they have additional time to organize financial records and submit reports without errors.
Experts believe that this move by the CBDT will reduce stress among taxpayers and give them the opportunity to file audit reports smoothly. It also reflects the government’s effort to support businesses in managing compliance more effectively.
The updated deadline of October 31, 2025, provides both flexibility and assurance, ensuring taxpayers meet all requirements on time.
