NO NOTIFICATION FROM CBDT TILL NOW
Division Bench of the Rajasthan High Court (Justices Dr. Pushpendra Singh Bhati and Bipin Gupta) has granted a one-month extension for filing the Tax Audit Report (under Section 44AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961).
The extension is beyond 30 September 2025 (i.e. from the original deadline) by 1 month.
The Court described refusal to grant a similar extension in such circumstances as potentially arbitrary, unreasonable and in violation of Articles 14, 19(1)(g) and 21 of the Constitution of India.
The Court’s extension is interim — it has directed that the respondents (i.e. Ministry of Finance / Income Tax Department / CBDT) issue a formal notification of the extension.
The Court ordered that the facility for filing audit reports must be made fully operational (i.e. technical fixes / portal availability) during this extended period.
Next hearing is listed for 27 October 2025 as per some reports
