Missing ITR deadline today is like getting ‘Hit Wicket’: Tax department urges a ‘Free Hit’ filing
The Income Tax Department, in an X post, reminded taxpayers that 31 July is the last date to file ITR-1 and ITR-2 for AY 2026-27.
Missing the deadline is compared to a 'Hit Wicket' in cricket, urging a 'Free Hit' filing to avoid late fees and interest.
Taxpayers must complete filing and e-verification today to avoid late-filing fees, interest, and compliance issues.
Before filing, taxpayers should verify documents like Form 26AS, AIS, and Form 16 to reconcile income and TDS details.
Filing by the deadline reduces the possibility of errors caused by mismatches in income details and tax records.
