Income tax calendar October 2026: ITR, TDS, Form 141 and other deadlines to know | Mint
October 2026 has several income tax deadlines for employers, specified entities and some taxpayers. The main one is 31 October, the income tax return deadline for AY 2026-27, for taxpayers whose accounts need audit but who are outside transfer pricing rules. You also need to track quarterly TDS (tax deducted at source) returns and Form 141, a new consolidated challan-cum-statement under the Income-tax Act, 2025.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The most important 31 October deadline is the income tax return filing date for AY 2026-27, which applies to taxpayers whose accounts must be audited but who are not covered by transfer pricing provisions.
- Form 141 is a new consolidated challan-cum-statement for certain TDS deductions under section 393(1) of the Income-tax Act, 2025.
- These October deadlines are largely compliance requirements for specified deductors, intermediaries and entities, rather than routine filings for salaried taxpayers.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Note the October dates that apply to you, especially 31 October if your accounts need audit, and check with a qualified expert to confirm your exact filing and TDS obligations before the due dates.
