Goodbye Previous Year and Assessment Year: How the 'Tax Year' Concept Works From 1 April 2026
From 1 April 2026, the Income-tax Act, 2025 replaces the twin previous year / assessment year convention with a single Tax Year label — TY 2026-27 covers 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Income up to 31 March 2026 stays under the 1961 Act as AY 2026-27; later income moves to the new Act.
