September was a busy month on our site. We covered three very different topics that mattered to everyday readers: a tax deadline change, a rare celestial event, and a call for fresh storytelling in Malayalam movies. Below is a quick rundown of each story and why it matters to you.
The government pushed the individual income‑tax return deadline to September 15, 2025. If you’re filing for FY 2024‑25, note that audit cases still have to be submitted by October 31, and anyone with a transfer‑pricing report must file by November 30. Missing the September deadline triggers a penalty under Section 234F and a 1 % monthly interest charge. You can still file a belated return until December 31, but the cost goes up, and refunds may take longer.
Two solar eclipses happen in 2025 – March 29 and September 21‑22 – but neither will be visible from Indian soil. The March eclipse dazzles North America and Europe, while the September one shines over New Zealand, Fiji, southern Australia, and Antarctica. Since the eclipses aren’t visible here, the traditional “Sutak Kaal” restrictions don’t apply. The September eclipse does fall during Pitru Paksha, which adds a cultural note for families performing ancestor rites.
Even though we can’t watch the shadow cross our skies, the events still spark curiosity. If you’re an astronomy fan, consider streaming live coverage from the regions where the eclipse is visible. It’s a great way to feel connected to a global phenomenon without stepping outside.
Director Jeethu Joseph warned fellow Malayalam filmmakers against hopping on the superhero bandwagon after the success of "Lokah: Chapter 1 – Chandra." Speaking at the promo for his upcoming film "Mirage," he argued that chasing trends leads to formulaic movies and weak storytelling. He also pushed back on the "female‑led" label, saying the focus should stay on the story, not just the gender of the lead.
Joseph’s message is clear – diversify your genre mix, keep the narrative strong, and avoid copying what’s working elsewhere. For audiences, that means more variety and better quality on the screen.
All three pieces share a common thread: they remind us to stay informed and think ahead. Whether you’re filing taxes, planning to watch an eclipse online, or choosing your next movie, a little knowledge goes a long way.

India has pushed the individual ITR due date for FY 2024-25 (AY 2025-26) to Sept 15, 2025. Audit cases must file by Oct 31, and those with transfer pricing reports by Nov 30. Miss it, and late fees under Section 234F and 1% monthly interest kick in. Belated returns are allowed till Dec 31, and ITR-U can fix misses later—at a higher cost. Refunds often slow down for late filers.
