Companies Face Reporting and Compliance Challenges Under Income-tax Act, 2025 Transition

The Income-tax Act, 2025, effective from April 1, 2026, introduces challenges for companies despite largely unchanged tax rates. Tax expert CA Nishant Shankar highlights that many organizations have not fully updated their systems, documentation, and compliance processes, still referencing the old 1961 Act. This misalignment can cause reporting mismatches, such as discrepancies in TDS section codes and capital gains reporting, potentially leading to notices and disputes during the transition.
