July 31, 2026 is the due date to file income tax return (ITR) by salaried, pensioners, students and other taxpayers who are not required to conduct a tax audit.
If you miss this due date then don't worry, you can still file your income tax return by paying a late fee of Rs 5,000 if your total income is more than Rs 5 lakh and Rs 1,000 if it is less than Rs 5 lakh. If you have no taxable income yet still want to file ITR but missed the July 31, 2026 due date, then there is no late fee.
