India's fiscal year 2026-27 brings major financial reforms. Starting April 1, the new Income Tax Act 2025 replaces the 1961 legislation, simplifying terminology by merging Assessment Year and Previous Year into a single Tax Year. Individuals earning up to 12 lakh rupees annually will now pay zero tax under the enhanced rebate. PAN application rules tighten with mandatory Class X certificates and passports replacing Aadhaar-only requirements. Tax forms transform as Form 16 and 16A convert to Form 130 and 131 respectively. Railway refund policies shift from four hours to eight hours pre-departure. LPG prices face potential revision due to geopolitical pressures. These comprehensive changes directly impact daily financial operations for Indian citizens and businesses nationwide.
