What is Income Tax Return (ITR)?

📌 TL;DR - Income Tax Return Filing Services at a Glance

An Income Tax Return (ITR) is a prescribed form through which a taxpayer declares their total income earned during a financial year, deductions claimed, taxes paid, and any tax refund due. Filing an ITR is a compliance obligation under Section 139 of the Income Tax Act. As of 1 April 2026, the Income Tax Act, 2025 replaces the Income Tax Act, 1961, introducing a unified 'Tax Year' replacing the earlier Financial Year and Assessment Year terminology.

For income earned in FY 2025-26 (April 2025 to March 2026), the ITR will be filed under the Income Tax Act, 1961 provisions. Income earned from FY 2026-27 onwards will be governed by the Income Tax Act, 2025.

Income Tax Act 2025: What Changes for ITR Filing?

The Income Tax Act, 2025 becomes effective from 1 April 2026, replacing the Income Tax Act, 1961 per Section 536. Key structural changes relevant to ITR filing include:

  • 'Tax Year' replaces Financial Year and Assessment Year - FY 2026-27 is Tax Year 2026-27. This simplifies the dual-year terminology that has long confused taxpayers.
  • New ITR forms will be notified for income earned from FY 2026-27 onwards with more pre-filled sections and simplified structure.
  • Income earned in FY 2025-26 (up to March 2026) continues under the Income Tax Act, 1961 provisions - all current ITR forms and rules apply.
  • Section 143(1) intimation to be issued within 9 months (mandatory) under the new Act.
  • Faceless assessments and appeals continue under the new framework with digital-first compliance.
  • Revised return window extended to 31 March (12 months) from December (9 months) from FY 2025-26 per Budget 2026.
  • Updated return window extended to 48 months (4 years) from end of assessment year.

Patron Accounting's CA and CS team tracks all regulatory changes. We ensure all ITR filings - whether for FY 2025-26 under old Act or FY 2026-27 onwards under new Act - are fully compliant.
