Students, salaried employees, pensioners and other taxpayers who are not required to conduct an income tax audit, can file their income tax return (ITR) on or before July 31, 2026 for AY 2026-2027. For tax year 2026-2027, the ITR filing due date is July 31, 2027
There are three ITR forms (ITR-1, ITR-2 and ITR-3) which individuals can file depending on their income sources. For example, a student who has no other income except pocket money, but has made some stock market transactions, needs to file ITR-2 or ITR-3. But if the student has not made any stock market transactions, he/she can file ITR-1.
