ITR Filing 2025: Excel-based ITR filing tools for the fiscal year 2024–2025 (assessment year 2025–2026) have been made available by the Income Tax Department. You can now file the ITR-1 and ITR-4 Excel utilities. The income tax department's e-filing portal now offers the utilities for download.

Taxpayers can file their returns offline by using the downloadable Excel utilities for ITR-1 and ITR-4. After entering their income and deduction information, users can verify it and generate a JSON file that they can upload to the income tax portal for final submission. While online filing is still unavailable, these tools serve as a crucial substitute.

Most taxpayers have until September 31, 2025, to file their income tax returns. It is advised that taxpayers prepare the required paperwork in advance and monitor portal updates for information on when online filing will begin.
