The due date to file an income tax return (ITR) for students, pensioners, salaried individuals, and others who are not liable for a tax audit is July 31, 2026, for AY 2026-27. However, for individuals with business income or those requiring a tax audit, the due date for filing ITR is August 31.
There are about three ITR forms (ITR-1, ITR-2, and ITR-3) which most students, salaried employees, and pensioners need to file depending on their source of income.
