Chartered accountants, taxpayers, and professionals have taken to social media to highlight repeated glitches and downtime on the Income Tax e-filing portal, urging the government to extend the September 15, 2025 deadline for non-audit cases. Many users flagged scheduled maintenance, slow processing, and login errors, calling it unfair given the heavy compliance burden and delayed release of ITR utilities.

CA Ankit Jain said: “Due to glitches on the Income Tax portal, delayed ITR utility releases, and ongoing natural disasters across India, filing accurate returns by 15.09.2025 is unfeasible. We urge FinMin to extend due date now or waive penalties.”
