ITR‑2 & ITR‑3 Filing Delayed Due to Utility and Form Updates

On 01 Jul 2025

Tax filing for ITR‑2 and ITR‑3 is delayed because the Income Tax Department has yet to release the necessary e‑filing utilities—despite updated ITR forms—leaving salaried professionals, HNIs, and freelancers unable to file.

ITR 1 and ITR 4 forms have been released by the Income Tax Department. But till now no update has come regarding ITR 2 and ITR 3. Let us know what is the reason behind the delay in this? Along with this, how do ITR 2 and ITR 3 forms become special.

The Income Tax Department has extended the date of ITR filing to 15 September 2025. Usually the last date for filing ITR is 31 July 2025.

The reason for extending the date of ITR filing by the Income Tax Department may also be the non-issuance of ITR Form 2 and 3 till now.

In fact, ITR 2 and ITR 3 forms have not been issued by the Income Tax Department yet. However, ITR 1 and ITR 4 forms are available for filing. Taxpayers are eagerly waiting for ITR 2 and ITR 3 forms. For those taxpayers who invest in the stock market or mutual funds, ITR 2 and 3 become important.
