Subject: Request for Extension of Due Date for Filing Statutory Audit, Tax Audit Reports (TAR) and Income Tax Returns (ITR) for Audit Cases – A.Y. 2025-26


 


Respected Madam / Sir,


 


On behalf of the Bhartiya Vaishya Global Foundation (BVGF), we most respectfully submit this representation requesting an extension of the due dates for filing of Tax Audit Reports and Income Tax Returns for Audit Cases for the Assessment Year 2025-26.


 


At present, the statutory due date for furnishing Tax Audit Reports and ITRs for audit cases is 30th September 2025. However, considering the practical difficulties being faced this year, we humbly request an extension of the due date by at least 45 days (up to 15th November 2025), in line with past precedents.


 


The following genuine reasons justify this request:


            1.            Compressed Timelines


The due date for non-audit cases has already been extended from 31st July to 15th September 2025, leaving only a short gap of 15 days before the audit case deadline, which is highly insufficient for professionals to manage the heavy compliance workload.


 


            2.            Advance Tax Payment Deadline


The second instalment of Advance Tax also falls on 15th September 2025, creating additional pressure on professionals and taxpayers in the same period.



            3.            Delay in Release of ITR Forms and Utilities


The Income Tax Return forms and corresponding utilities were made available late, leaving professionals with limited time to understand and implement the revised requirements.


 


             4.            Changes in Reporting Formats


New and revised reporting formats introduced by ICAI and the Income Tax Department for non-corporate and other entities have significantly increased compliance burden and require more time for accurate reporting.



5.            Natural Calamities Affecting Work


           


Continuous heavy rains and flood situations in various parts of India have disrupted normal functioning of offices and compliance work, making it practically difficult for professionals to meet the existing deadline.


 


            6.            Festive Season Constraints


 


The ongoing festive season across various states further reduces the effective working days available for timely completion of audit and filing work.


 


In view of the above difficulties, we most humbly request that the due date for furnishing Tax Audit Reports and ITRs for Audit Cases be extended to 15th November 2025. A timely release of extension will provide comfort to both taxpayers and auditors, ensuring accuracy in reporting, smoother compliance, and reducing the risk of future litigation.


 


We sincerely hope that our request will be considered favourably in the larger interest of taxpayers and professionals across the country.


 


With warm regards,


 


For Bhartiya Vaishya Global Foundation (BVGF)
