Personal Finance News & Tips – Stay Ahead of Your Money Moves

Welcome to the Personal Finance hub on India’s News Hub. Here you’ll find quick, easy‑to‑read updates that help you take charge of your money. From tax deadlines to budgeting hacks, we break down the stuff that matters so you can act without the headache.

Key Updates You Can’t Miss

First up, the Income Tax Return (ITR) deadline for FY 2024‑25 has been pushed to September 15, 2025. The government says new return forms and system upgrades caused the shift. If you’re filing as an individual or HUF without an audit, you now have a few extra weeks. Those with audit or transfer‑pricing cases will get separate dates later.

What does this mean for you? Simply put, you get more breathing room to sort out documents, double‑check numbers, and avoid the penalty that kicks in after the old deadline. Still, don’t wait until the last day – the portal can get busy and you’ll face interest and fees if you file late.

How to Make the Most of Your Finance Journey

Here are three practical steps you can take right now:

• Organize your paperwork. Pull together Form 16, bank statements, and investment proofs. A tidy folder (digital or physical) cuts down filing time.
• Use the pre‑fill option. The Income Tax Department lets you import data directly from their server. It reduces errors and speeds up the process.
• Plan for the next year. Set up a simple spreadsheet to track taxable income throughout the year. Small, regular entries prevent a year‑end scramble.

Beyond taxes, the Personal Finance section brings you budgeting ideas, savings tips, and short guides on investing in mutual funds or SIPs. We keep the language simple – no jargon, just clear steps you can follow today.

Want to boost your emergency fund? Start by setting aside 5‑10% of each paycheck. Automate the transfer to a separate account and you’ll see the balance grow without thinking about it.

Thinking about a big purchase like a car or home? Use our calculator tools to see how loan tenures affect your monthly outflow. Shorter tenures mean higher payments but you save on interest; longer tenures lower cash flow pressure but cost more over time.
