To facilitate taxpayers in settling pending tax related work for the current financial year 2024-25, Income Tax Department offices across the country will remain open from 29 to 31 March. The current financial year ends on March 31. Despite the weekend and Eid-ul-Fitr falling on Monday, Income Tax Department offices across the country will remain open.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said in the order, “All income tax offices across India will remain open on 29, 30 and 31 March 2025 to facilitate the completion of pending departmental work.” The last day of the current financial year is 31 March 2025. Therefore, all government payments and settlements related to this financial year have to be completed by the same day. The last date for filing updated income tax returns for 2023-24 is also 31 March.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has also issued instructions to banks doing government work to remain open on March 31 for the convenience of taxpayers. RBI said that necessary arrangements have also been made to conduct special clearing operations across the country to facilitate accounting of government receipts and payments in the current financial year itself.
