New Challans for Income Tax Act, 2025 Tax Payments Introduced
Effective April 1, 2026, the Income Tax e-Filing Portal has launched new challans to simplify tax payments under the recently introduced Income Tax Act, 2025.
How to Access New Challans:
Navigate through: e File → e Pay Tax → Select “Income Tax Act, 2025” → New Payment → Select the relevant tile.
Applicability of Acts:
- For tax payments relating to Tax Year 2026–27 or subsequent years, the Income Tax Act, 2025 will be applicable.
- For payments concerning periods before Tax Year 2026–27 (i.e., Assessment Year 2026–27 or earlier), the Income Tax Act, 1961 will continue to apply.
Both tax payment options, under the Income Tax Act, 2025 and the Income Tax Act, 1961, are available on the e-filing portal. Users are advised to consult the User Manuals for comprehensive instructions on using these new challan forms.
