The new financial year brings with it one of the most significant shifts in India's tax and compliance landscape in over six decades.
The Income Tax Act, 1961 — the law that governed every taxpayer, every business, and every professional in this country — has been officially replaced by the Income Tax Act, 2025, effective 1 April 2026. Along with it come revised TDS and TCS structures, expanded HRA eligibility, tighter PAN norms, restructured salary frameworks under the Code on Wages, and a fundamentally simplified filing system that does away with the long-standing confusion between Assessment Year and Previous Year.
For businesses, this is not just a regulatory update. It is an opportunity to start fresh — with cleaner books, smarter tax planning, and a compliance framework that is finally designed to be understood, not just followed.
At Mavensmark, we have been working closely with businesses across India to ensure this transition is smooth, informed, and well ahead of deadlines. Whether you are a startup navigating your first full financial year, an established company recalibrating payroll and GST systems, or a professional looking to optimise under the new regime — we are here to make complexity simple.
This carousel breaks down the 8 most important changes taking effect from April 1. We encourage you to save it, share it with your finance teams, and reach out to us if you need clarity on any provision.
New satisfactory year begins. Let us help you make it satisfactory.
