The new rules and the revised ITR-6 form come into effect from 31st March 2026 and will apply to returns filed for the Assessment Year 2026-27.

Key changes include enhanced disclosure requirements on corporate identity, shareholding, startup recognition, MSME status, Significant Economic Presence, international taxation, and detailed financial statement reporting.

The revised form requires detailed balance sheet and financial statement reporting, segregation of current and non-current assets/liabilities, and reporting aligned with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS).
