New ITR Filing Rules for AY 2026-27 Include Foreign Assets and High-Value Transactions
For the 2026-27 assessment year, Indian taxpayers must file income tax returns (ITR) not only based on income but also due to high-value transactions like foreign travel exceeding ₹2 lakh, business turnover, or foreign asset holdings. Disclosure of foreign income and assets, including US 401(k) accounts, is mandatory via specific ITR schedules, with penalties up to ₹10 lakh for non-compliance. New rules require filing revised returns by March 31, 2027, to correct omissions, emphasizing broader compliance beyond taxable income thresholds.
