Is this guide verified against the actual Income-tax Act, 2025?
Yes. Every section number, slab, form number and date was verified in September 2026 against the consolidated text of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (as amended by the Finance Act, 2026), the Income-tax Rules, 2026 (notified 20 March 2026) and the official Income Tax Department FAQs. Where popular articles online disagree with the Act, the guide follows the Act — many maps published online use pre-amendment numbering that was changed before the law took effect.
Did my tax actually change because of the new Act?
No — and that is the most reassuring fact in the guide. The new regime slabs, the ₹12.75 lakh zero-tax effect, every deduction limit and the 31 July due date all survived. What changed is the labels: 80C is now Section 123, 87A is now Section 156, Form 16 is now Form 130, and Assessment Year is now Tax Year.
I filed my return in July 2026. Does the new Act apply to it?
No. That return was for income earned before 1 April 2026, so it runs on the 1961 Act and the old section numbers are correct on it. The first return that uses the new numbers is the one you file in July 2027, for Tax Year 2026-27.
Does the guide tell me whether to pick the old or new regime?
Yes — three ways. Part 3 has worked examples in rupees for salary levels from ₹9 lakh to ₹20 lakh plus a 30-second decision rule, and Part 4 is a fill-in worksheet that computes your answer in about fifteen minutes using your own rent, deductions and loan figures.

Is this tax advice?
No — it is a plain-English map for a salaried person navigating the biggest change in Indian tax law since 1961. It is not advice for complex situations, and it does not replace a chartered accountant for capital gains, foreign income or notices. Every source is listed in the guide so you can verify anything yourself.
