Common questions

When did the Income-tax Rules, 2026 come into force?

The Income-tax Act, 2025 is effective from 1 April 2026, and the Income-tax Rules, 2026 (with the prescribed forms) were notified to support it. They replace the Income-tax Rules, 1962.

What does this page map?

Every rule of the Income-tax Rules, 2026 (Rules 1–333 plus the two depreciation appendices) and every prescribed form (Forms 1–190) against its parallel provision under the old Income-tax Rules, 1962.

Which old rule is the new Rule 25 (Depreciation)?

Rule 25 of the Income-tax Rules, 2026 corresponds to Rule 5 of the 1962 Rules. The depreciation rate tables move to Appendix I and Appendix II (formerly New Appendix I and Appendix IA).

Where did Form 3CD (the tax-audit statement) go?

The tax-audit report and statement of particulars — Forms 3CA, 3CB and 3CD under the 1962 Rules — are consolidated as Form No. 26 under the Income-tax Rules, 2026 (read with Rule 47). Search “3CD” or “26”.

Is this an official document?

No. It is a practical navigational reference prepared by PGRT & Associates for quick lookup. Always confirm against the notified Income-tax Rules, 2026.
