Latest Compliance Update: Tax Audit Format Is Changing

The Income Tax Department has clarified an important transition point:

For FY 2025–26 / AY 2026–27, tax audit reports continue to use Form 3CA / 3CB / 3CD under the Income-tax Act, 1961.

But for Tax Year 2026–27 onwards, the new Form No. 26 will replace and consolidate Forms 3CA, 3CB and 3CD into a single tax-audit report. The new form also introduces structured schedules and mandatory auditor details such as membership number, firm registration number and UDIN.

🧾 What should businesses do now?

✅ Keep books of accounts updated
✅ Reconcile GST turnover with books
✅ Reconcile TDS/TCS with accounting records
✅ Review depreciation and fixed assets
✅ Maintain proper supporting documents
✅ Start preparing for the new reporting structure

💡 Professional Tip

Don't wait until the audit season to organise your accounts.

Good accounting today makes GST, TDS, Income Tax and Tax Audit much easier tomorrow.

🚨 LATEST TDS UPDATE 2026 | Don't Use the Wrong TDS Rules

With the new Income-tax Act, 2025 now applicable, businesses need to be careful when handling TDS for transactions around the transition period.

💡 The key rule:

The TDS provisions applicable to a transaction depend on the earlier of the date of credit or payment:

🔹 If the earlier event happened on or before 31 March 2026 → Income-tax Act, 1961 applies.

🔹 If the earlier event happened on or after 1 April 2026 → Income-tax Act, 2025 applies.

This is especially important when dealing with old transactions, corrections, outstanding payments and TDS returns.

✅ What should businesses do?

✔ Review old & current TDS transactions
✔ Check the actual credit/payment date
✔ Use the correct applicable provisions
✔ Reconcile TDS with books and challans
✔ Verify TDS returns and tax credits
✔ Keep proper supporting records

Professional Tip: Don't decide the applicable TDS provision only by the date you are filing the return. First check when the credit or payment actually occurred.

At Ashif Islam & Associates, we assist businesses with TDS/TCS, GST, Accounting, Income Tax and overall Business Compliance.

🚨 LATEST TAX UPDATE | ITR-6 AY 2026-27

A new update is now available for companies filing Income Tax Return – ITR-6.

The Income Tax Department has made the offline utility of ITR-6 for AY 2026-27 available from 20 August 2026. The online filing facility was already enabled from 18 August 2026.

💡 What should companies do now?

Before filing, don't simply upload the return. Review your complete accounts and tax data:

✅ Finalise Books of Accounts
✅ Reconcile Bank & Ledger balances
✅ Verify TDS/TCS credits
✅ Check AIS & Form 26AS
✅ Review GST turnover with books
✅ Reconcile ITC and GST records
✅ Verify depreciation & fixed assets
✅ Review related-party transactions
✅ Check tax computation before filing

📌 Remember

Income Tax compliance doesn't work in isolation.

Your Accounting + GST + TDS + Income Tax records should tell the same story.

A proper reconciliation before filing can help identify mismatches early and reduce unnecessary compliance issues.

🚨 TDS 2.0 — BIG COMPLIANCE UPDATE

TRACES 2.0 + New Income-Tax Act Framework

From 1 April 2026, the TDS framework has moved into the new Income-tax Act, 2025.

But what does this mean for businesses?

🔹 WHAT'S NEW?

✅ TDS provisions reorganised
Salary TDS is covered under Section 392, while TDS on other specified payments is covered under Section 393.

✅ TRACES upgraded
The new TRACES 2.0 platform provides an updated environment for TDS/TCS compliance.

✅ Old + New TDS formats during transition
Returns relating to periods up to March 2026 continue under the old framework, while periods from April 2026 follow the new framework.

✅ TDS reconciliation remains critical
Deduction → Payment → Return → TDS Certificate → Form 26AS/TDS credit should all match.

💡 BUSINESS TIP

Don't simply change the section number in your accounting software.

Before processing TDS, businesses should review:

Nature of Payment → Applicable Provision → Threshold → Rate → Deduction → Deposit → Return → Reconciliation

⚠️ Important: A correction relating to a pre-April 2026 TDS period continues to be governed by the old Act/framework, even when the correction is filed after 1 April 2026.

📌 WHAT SHOULD BUSINESSES DO NOW?

✔ Update accounting/payroll software
✔ Review TDS applicability for each payment type
✔ Reconcile TDS ledgers with challans
✔ Verify deductee PAN/details
✔ Check TDS credits and certificates
✔ Review TDS returns before submission

🚨 GST COMPLIANCE 2.0

New e-Invoice & e-Way Bill System Changes Are Now Live

From 1 August 2026, GSTN has introduced important changes in the e-Invoice and e-Way Bill ecosystem.

🔹 What has changed?

✅ Ship-to GSTIN validation has been strengthened where ship-to details are provided.

✅ Additional GSTIN, State Code & PIN Code validations apply in relevant transactions.

✅ New functionality for voluntary closure of an e-Way Bill has been introduced after delivery.

✅ Businesses using ERP / accounting software should ensure their systems are updated and properly tested.

Sales → Invoice → e-Invoice → E-Way Bill → GSTR-1 → GSTR-3B → ITC Reconciliation

A mismatch at any stage can create unnecessary compliance issues.

📌 What should businesses do now?

Review your GST billing process.
Check your ERP/software configuration.
Verify Ship-to details.
Reconcile GST data regularly.
