Revised ITR filings cross 15 lakh mark for AY 2025-26: CBDT
Dec-24-2025

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the apex policy making body concerning direct taxes, has said that more than 15 lakh revised Income Tax Returns (ITRs) have been filed for the ongoing assessment year (AY) 2025-26. Also, over 21 lakh taxpayers have already updated their ITRs for assessment years 2021-22 to 2024-25 and paid over Rs 2,500 crore in taxes during the ongoing financial year (FY26).

This action is part of the I-T department’s NUDGE campaign through which it sends advisories to identified taxpayers who have claimed wrongful deduction related to unrecognised political parties or charitable institutions. To avoid further enquiries in the matter, the I-T department said it is advised that the concerned taxpayers review their ITRs, verify the correctness of their deduction and exemption claims, and revise their returns, if required, within the prescribed time by December 31, 2025. 

CBDT further said taxpayers whose deduction or exemption claims are genuine and correctly made in accordance with law are not required to take any further action. It also said from January 1, 2026 such taxpayers will only be able to file an updated ITR to make changes to their ITR for AY26, as permitted under law, subject to payment of additional tax liability.
