Tax audit report deadline falls due today, October 21, 2026
In short
The tax audit report deadline is today, October 21, 2026, for Assessment Year 2026-27.
Taxpayers need their chartered accountant to upload and e-verify Form 3CA-3CD or 3CB-3CD on the e-filing portal. If this is not done, they may miss the filing deadline and the receipt.
What the reporting says

The reporting says they must work with their chartered accountant to complete Form 3CA-3CD or 3CB-3CD, then have the report accepted and e-verified on the e-filing portal. The immediate consequence is the risk of missing timely filing and acknowledgment receipt if the upload is not completed.
Why it matters
