Due date to file income tax returns extended till August 31? Here's what we know

ITR filing 2024:  The government has dismissed the social media claims suggesting that the deadline for filing Income Tax Returns (ITR) has been extended to August 31. It said that a clipping of the news which is being circulated on social media is fake. The last date to file ITR for FY2023-24 is July 31, 2024. The confusion stemmed from a misinterpretation of advice from the Press Registrar General of India, which was mistakenly understood as an extension of the filing deadline.
