What is the ITR-2 due date for AY 2026-27?

For individuals not subject to audit, the due date for AY 2026-27 (FY 2025-26) is normally 31 July 2026, unless the government extends it. A belated or revised return can generally be filed up to 31 December 2026.

Is there a penalty for filing Schedule FA late?

A late return attracts a late-filing fee under Section 234F, but the bigger risk is the Black Money Act: non-disclosure of a foreign asset can attract a flat ₹10 lakh penalty per year, so file Schedule FA even if late.

Schedule FA is part of your income tax return, so its deadline is the ITR filing deadline. For US RSU / ESPP / Fidelity holders that means ITR-2 (or ITR-3 if you have business income).

Key dates — AY 2026-27

Return	Normal due date
ITR-2 / ITR-3 (no audit)	31 July 2026
Cases requiring audit	31 October 2026
Belated return	31 December 2026
Revised return	31 December 2026

These are the statutory dates and can be extended by CBDT notification. Always confirm on incometax.gov.in before filing.

Already filed but forgot Schedule FA?

File a revised return before the revised-return deadline and add Schedule FA. This is far better than leaving it out — a missing foreign-asset disclosure is what the Black Money Act penalises, regardless of whether your tax was paid.

Penalties for being late

Section 234F late fee: up to ₹5,000 for a belated return (₹1,000 if total income is up to ₹5 lakh).
Section 234A/B/C interest on any unpaid tax.
Black Money Act: the real risk — a flat ₹10 lakh per year for failing to disclose a foreign asset. File Schedule FA even if you are late.

Don't leave it to the last week

Schedule FA needs per-lot acquisition dates, SBI TTBR rates on each event date (Rule 115), the Dec 31 closing balance, and peak values. Gathering this in July is stressful. itrfa.in does it from your Fidelity CSVs in minutes.
