Income Tax Act 2025 Introduces Unified Form 141 for Reporting TDS on Specified Transactions
The Income Tax Act, 2025, effective April 1, 2026, introduces Form 141, a unified form for reporting and paying tax deducted at source (TDS) on specified transactions. This form replaces four earlier forms related to property purchases, rent payments, contractor and professional fees, and virtual digital assets (VDAs). Taxpayers must file separate Form 141 submissions for each transaction type by selecting the relevant schedule. The form aims to simplify TDS compliance for resident deductees under the new tax regime.
