Sources

Section numbers, chapters and headings are taken from the Income-tax Act, 2025 as published in the Gazette of India (21 August 2025), updated for the Finance Act, 2026 (Gazette, 30 March 2026), which substituted sections 150, 217, 218, 283, 427, 428, 446, 454, 480, 481 and 522, inserted section 354A, omitted sections 443 and 447, and amended the headings of sections 440, 467, 473 and 474. The corresponding 1961 sections follow ICAI’s tabular mapping of the Act (September 2025). Where ICAI maps a group of sections together (marked “group”), the reference applies to the group as a whole.
