Welcome to the September roundup on India Cinema Scoop. In this month we covered two very different stories – one about a spring festival that still matters to millions, and another about a tax deadline that’s causing a buzz among salaried Indians. Both pieces were written to give you clear, actionable info, so let’s see what you missed.
On April 5, 2025, the seventh day of Chaitra Navratri – Saptami – arrived. While the festival began in late March, the Saptami day is special because devotees focus on worshiping Maa Kalaroti, the fierce form of Durga. The article broke down the exact tithi, auspicious timings for rituals, and the fast‑breaking schedule that many families follow. It also explained why this day is linked to the Hindu New Year in northern India, tying mythological victory over evil to fresh starts for households. Readers got a quick checklist: wake up early, perform Kalaroti puja before noon, keep the fast until the prescribed aarti, and then share a simple vegetarian meal with family. The piece even mentioned where to find local community events in Delhi and Mumbai, making it easy for anyone to join a gathering.
Fast forward to September, and the focus shifted to income‑tax returns. The government set the filing cut‑off for September 15, and the article explored whether the Central Board of Direct Taxes might push it further. It highlighted two BJP MPs who appealed to the Finance Minister, pointing out portal glitches and a slowdown in filing numbers – 5.47 crore this year versus 7.28 crore last year. Experts weighed in, saying an extension looks unlikely, and stressed the cost of missing the deadline: penalties, interest, and possible scrutiny from the tax department. To help readers act fast, the article listed three practical steps: double‑check Form 26AS, use the pre‑filled ITR draft from the portal, and file during off‑peak hours (early morning or late night) to avoid server overload. It also offered a short cheat‑sheet on common mistakes, like mismatched PAN details and forgetting to claim HRA deductions.
Both pieces share a common goal – give you clear guidance without the jargon. Whether you’re planning a Kalaroti puja with your family or racing against the September 15 deadline, the tips are meant to save you time and avoid stress.
