If you are a student, pensioner, salaried worker or any other taxpayer who doesn't need to do an income tax audit, you have to file your income tax returns (ITR) by July 31, 2026 for AY 2026-2027. For Tax Year 2026-2027, the ITR filing due date is July 31, 2027.
Now, the real question isn't about the date but rather which ITR form should you use since students, salaried individuals, pensioners and other non-tax audit taxpayers can use ITR-1, ITR-2 and ITR-3 to file their tax returns.
