Income tax return file karna reh gaya hai? Khushkhabri bhi hai aur warning bhi. FBR ne Tax Year 2026 ke income tax return ki deadline 15 October 2026 tak barha di hai — matlab aaj se ginein to sirf 4 din reh gaye hain. Ye extension official hai, lekin is se pehle ek fake khabar bhi phaili thi — dono ki poori tafseel neeche parhein taaki ghalti na ho.
Kya Hua — Deadline 15 October Tak
FBR ne Circular No. 3 of 2026-27 ke zariye, Income Tax Ordinance 2001 ke Section 214A ke tehet, income tax return ki deadline 30 September se barha kar 15 October 2026 kar di hai. Ye faisla trade bodies aur tax bar associations ki darkhwaston par kiya gaya. FBR ke mutabiq ab tak 52 lakh se zyada returns file ho chuke hain, jin me 13 lakh naye filers hain.
Ye Extension Kiske Liye Hai?
Ye extension un tamam individuals aur Associations of Persons (AOPs) ke liye hai jinki Tax Year 2026 ki return 30 September 2026 tak file karna lazmi thi. Companies ki normal deadline 31 December hoti hai (special tax year wali companies ke ilawa) — un ke liye ye extension nahi hai. Apni category ki deadline khud check kar lein, sab par ye date apply nahi hoti.
Fake Circular Se Hoshiyar!
Deadline barhne se kuch ghante pehle social media par ek “Circular No. 4” viral hua tha jis me extension ka dawa tha — FBR ne apne official X account se usay fake qarar diya tha. Us ke kuch ghante baad asli notification aya. Sabaq: WhatsApp forwards par bharosa na karein, hamesha FBR ki official website aur official channels se tasdeeq karein.
Der Karne Ka Nuqsan
15 October ke baad file karne par Rs 25,000 tak surcharge lag sakta hai, sath hi Active Taxpayer List (ATL) se naam nikal sakta hai — jis ka matlab hai har transaction par zyada withholding tax. 4 din ka waqt hai, aakhri din ka intezar na karein (IRIS system aksar last days me slow ho jata hai).

IRIS Par Return File Karne Ke Basic Steps
- iris.fbr.gov.pk par apne CNIC aur password se login karein (computer use karein to behtar).
- Tax Year 2026 ka income tax return form kholein.
- Apni income, deductions aur pehle se kata hua tax (withholding) darj karein.
- Wealth statement (Section 116) bhi complete karein — baghair is ke return submit nahi hota.
- Submit karne ke baad Completed Tasks me ja kar submission date zaroor check karein — 15 October 2026 ya us se pehle honi chahiye.
- Return aur wealth statement ka PDF save/print kar lein — yehi aap ka saboot hai.
