FAQ :
No, the FY27 Budget is unlikely to bring sweeping amendments to the income tax law. Changes are expected to come through new income tax rules.
The practical operation of the Income Tax Act, 2025, will be shaped by new income tax rules issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT).
These rules will be critical as they will directly influence taxpayer rights, fairness in enforcement, compliance burden, and the distinction between procedural lapses and deliberate tax evasion.
The rules are expected to cover procedures under faceless assessment, safeguards against administrative discretion, processes for initiating prosecution, and mechanisms for transitioning to the new tax regime.
The Income Tax Act, 1961, is slated for repeal, with the Income Tax Act, 2025, scheduled to take effect from 1 April.
Concerns have been raised over uncertainty and the risk of inadvertent non-compliance due to delays in notifying many rules, forms, and reporting mechanisms.
