With so many important dates scattered throughout the year, it’s easy to lose track. That’s why we’ve put together this comprehensive Income Tax Calendar for 2025, so you can plan ahead, meet every deadline, and stay stress-free during tax season.
January-February
Catch-up contributions: The beginning of the year is the perfect time to ensure all your investments and deductions are in place. If you haven’t already, consider making catch-up contributions to tax-saving instruments like PPF, NPS, ELSS, or SSY.
Form 12BB: Submit relevant investment proofs to your employer.
Form 12BAA: If you have other sources of income or transactions subject to TDS/TCS, ensure you provide details using Form 12BAA. These will help your employer deduct the correct amount of TDS from your salary.
March
15th March: Due date to pay 4th instalment of advance tax for FY 2024-25.
