What September 2025 Delivered: Taxes, Housing, Holidays, and Electric Cars

September was busy on the India Customer Care Directory. We posted four pieces that matter to tax professionals, home‑buyers, parents, and EV fans. Below is a quick walk‑through of each story and why it could affect you.

Government and Finance Updates You Should Know

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) announced a one‑month extension for the FY 2024‑25 tax audit deadline. The new cut‑off is October 31, 2025, after industry lobbying and a Rajasthan High Court order. Large firms and trusts now have extra time to compile their audit reports, so you can relax a bit before the rush.

At the same time, the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) opened the Konkan affordable‑housing lottery. More than 5,200 homes are up for grabs, and the registration window runs from September 15 to November 15. To apply, you’ll need income proof, a domicile certificate, and other documents uploaded through the IHLMS 2.0 app. Winners must pay stamp duty and registration fees before taking possession, and MHADA helplines are ready to help.

Consumer News: School Breaks and a New Electric SUV

Parents in Chhattisgarh are wondering if schools will give an extended Dussehra‑Diwali break in 2025. Dussehra lands on October 2 and Diwali on October 20‑21, leaving a long festive window.

For auto enthusiasts, Mahindra launched the XEV 9e Pack 3 electric SUV at an ex‑showroom price of Rs 30.50 lakh. The model boasts a 79 kWh battery delivering a certified 656 km range, Level‑2 ADAS with five radars, a Snapdragon 8295‑powered cockpit, and a 16‑speaker Harman Kardon sound system. Deliveries for some trims start in July 2025, with a full rollout by August. We break down its key specs, how it stacks up against rivals, and when you can expect to drive it home.
