GCCI put forth its point
According to media reports, GCCI has said that the utility forms, which are usually available in April, have been released in July 2025. Many forms remained pending till the first week of August. ITR-5 utility has come on 8th August. In this, very little time has been given for preparation and filing. Problems like system error, login failure, and timeout are constantly occurring while uploading the ITR and tax audit report. Along with this, due to errors and delayed updates in Form 265AS, TIS, and AIS, many types of difficulties are being faced in preparing the return.
Problems of tax professionals have increased
Let us tell you, according to many CAs and tax professionals, due to many errors on the portal, it has become very difficult to upload returns. Many times, even after uploading the return, an error is visible or there is a problem in updating the data. After this ITR cannot be filed on time.

During that time, CBDT had admitted that many changes had been made in the ITR form, and the data related to tax credit was available in the month of June. Taxpayers had a limited time to file returns. For this reason, the government had decided to give extra time.
