In a major relief to taxpayers and professionals, the Rajasthan High Court has ordered the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to extend the deadline for filing tax audit reports (TARs) and related income tax returns for the 2025–26 assessment year. The court, in its interim order on Wednesday, directed that the due date be moved from September 30 to October 31, 2025. Advertisement
