A genuine point of confusion this year. The new Income Tax Act, 2025 is in force from 1 April 2026 — but it does not apply to the return you file this season.
For FY 2025-26 the new regime is the default, with a Section 87A rebate making income up to ₹12 lakh tax-free. But for taxpayers with strong deductions, the old regime can still win. We compute both — use the calculator below.

For FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27): 31 July 2026 for salaried individuals and HUFs not requiring audit (ITR-1/ITR-2), 31 August 2026 for non-audit business and professional taxpayers (ITR-3/ITR-4), 31 October 2026 for audit cases, and 30 November 2026 for transfer-pricing cases. A belated return can be filed up to 31 December 2026 with a late fee.
Your AY 2026-27 return (income of FY 2025-26) is governed entirely by the Income Tax Act, 1961, even though the new Income Tax Act, 2025 came into force on 1 April 2026. The 2025 Act applies to income of Tax Year 2026-27 (FY 2026-27), filed in 2027.
Salaried with income up to ₹50 lakh → ITR-1; capital gains / multiple properties / foreign assets → ITR-2; business or professional income → ITR-3; presumptive scheme → ITR-4; firms & LLPs → ITR-5; companies → ITR-6; trusts, societies & NGOs → ITR-7. We confirm the correct form after reviewing your income profile.
It depends on your deductions. The new regime is the default and makes income up to ₹12 lakh effectively tax-free via the Section 87A rebate, but allows almost no deductions. The old regime suits taxpayers with substantial 80C, 80D, HRA and home-loan interest. We compare both and recommend the lower-tax option.
A late fee under Section 234F of up to ₹5,000 applies (₹1,000 if total income is up to ₹5 lakh), plus interest under Section 234A at 1% per month on unpaid tax. Late filing can also delay refunds and restrict carry-forward of certain losses.
