Frequently Asked Questions
What replaced Section 80C?
Under the Income-tax Act 2025, in force from 1 April 2026, Section 80C is renumbered Section 123. Limits are unchanged — only the numbering and terminology moved.
What is a 'Tax Year'?
The Income-tax Act 2025 retires the Assessment Year concept. Income is now referenced by the Tax Year in which it is earned, removing the AY/FY confusion that caught out filers for decades.
Did the tax slabs change for FY 2026-27?
No. Slab rates carry over unchanged. The Act 2025 was a restructuring and renumbering exercise — 819 sections became 536 — not a rate change.
When is my ITR due?
31 July 2026 for ITR-1 and ITR-2, and 31 August 2026 for non-audit ITR-3 and ITR-4. The revised-return window is now twelve months, up from nine, with a fee if filed after month nine.
