September 2025 Archive: Sports Drama and Tax Filing Essentials

Welcome to the September 2025 archive on Info Nest Hub. This month we covered two very different stories that both needed a quick heads‑up. First, a heated comment that blew up on the cricket field, and second, the exact dates you must know to avoid penalties on your 2025 income tax return. Let’s break down what happened and what you should take away.

Rishad Hossain’s Apology After PSL 2025 Sparks

Bangladesh all‑rounder Rishad Hossain made a comment that set social media on fire. He said England pacer Tom Curran was "crying like a child" during a tense Pakistan Super League (PSL) match, and he also quoted New Zealand batsman Daryl Mitchell swearing never to return to Pakistan amid rising India‑Pakistan tensions. The remarks were taken out of context, but the backlash was immediate.

Within hours, Rishad posted an unconditional apology, saying his words were misinterpreted and that he never intended to disrespect anyone. The incident highlighted how quickly sports statements can turn political, especially when the region is already on edge. It’s a reminder that athletes’ words travel far beyond the stadium.

If you follow cricket, you’ll notice that commentary now often includes a disclaimer about geopolitical sensitivities. That’s because leagues like the PSL are not just about runs and wickets; they’re also a stage where national pride and diplomatic moods intersect. Watching the games is fun, but it’s good to stay aware of the bigger picture.

ITR 2025: Due Date vs. Last Date – What Missing Each Will Cost You

On the tax side, the government extended the due date for filing the Income Tax Return (ITR) for FY 2024‑25 to September 15, 2025. The original deadline was July 31, but the extra time aims to ease the rush on the portal, which still showed glitches even after 5.30 crore returns were filed by September 10.

The last date for filing a belated or revised return is December 31, 2025. Miss the September deadline and you’ll face a late fee under Section 234F – typically ₹5,000 if your total income is below ₹5 lakh, and ₹1,000 for higher incomes. On top of that, you’ll be charged 1% interest per month on any unpaid tax, as per Section 234A.

Here’s a quick checklist to keep you safe:

• Mark September 15 on your calendar as the final day for on‑time filing.
• Gather Form 16, investment proofs, and bank statements by early September.
• If you miss the date, file before December 31 to avoid a belated‑return penalty.
• Pay any tax due as soon as possible to stop the 1% monthly interest.

Remember, the tax portal is still plagued by occasional downtimes, so it’s smart to file early. A little extra effort now saves you from late‑fee headaches later.

That’s the roundup for September 2025. Whether you’re tracking the latest cricket flare‑ups or planning your tax strategy, Info Nest Hub has the concise, up‑to‑date info you need. Check back next month for more practical insights.
