Income Tax Dept opens its e-portal for filing ITRs from 1st April
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) is facilitating taxpayers to file their Income Tax Returns (ITRs) for the Assessment Year 2024-25 from 1st April, 2024 onwards.
The ITR-1, ITR-2 and ITR-4, commonly used by taxpayers, are available on the e-filing portal from 1st April onwards for taxpayers to file their returns. Similarly, companies have also been able to file their ITRs through ITR-6 from April 1 onwards.
As per CBDT, on December 22, 2023, the notification of ITR forms started with ITRs 1 and 4 and notification on ITR-6 came on January 24, 2024.
In order to simplify the e-Return Intermediaries (ERI), the JSON Schema for ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-4 and ITR-6 and Schema of Tax Audit Reports have also been made available for A.Y. 2024-25. The same can be accessed under the downloads section of the e-filing portal, according to the CBDT statement.
As of now, almost 23,000 ITRs for A.Y. 2024-25 have already been filed. The statement also revealed that facilities to file ITRs 3, 5 and 7 will be made available shortly.
This is for the first time in recent times that the Income Tax Department has enabled taxpayers to file their returns on the very first day of the new financial year, the statement added.
