The Income-tax Act, 2025 received Presidential assent in August 2025 and is scheduled to come into effect from 1 April 2026. The corresponding draft Rules and Forms have been prepared through a broad-based consultative process to align with the provisions of the new Act.
Before final notification, the government is seeking wider stakeholder participation. The draft Rules and Forms have been made available on the official Income Tax Department website for review. Stakeholders are encouraged to examine the proposals and submit their suggestions.
Key Areas for Suggestions
CBDT has specifically invited inputs in the following areas:
- Simplification of language
- Reduction of litigation
