Income Tax Act 2025 vs 1961 – Kya Badla? Kisko Kya Samajhna Zaroori Hai (Delhi NCR Guide)
Agar aap Amazon / Flipkart seller ho, ya Loni, Tronica City Industrial Area me trader ho, ya ek salary employee ya freelancer ho — toh ek simple sa sawal hai:
“Kya Income Tax ka system change ho gaya hai? Aur kya mujhe kuch alag karna padega?”
Seedhi baat —
Haan, Income Tax Act, 2025 introduce ho chuka hai aur 01 April 2026 se applicable hai, lekin iska matlab yeh nahi ki purana law (Income-tax Act, 1961) irrelevant ho gaya.
Dono ka relation samajhna bahut zaroori hai — warna filing me galti, notice, ya penalty tak aa sakti hai.
Real Problem (Ground Reality)
Delhi NCR me specially Karawal Nagar, Dayalpur, Shiv Vihar, Loni, Tronica City Industrial Area me kya ho raha hai:
- Business chal raha hai
- GST registration bhi hai
- Bank me transactions heavy hain
- Lekin ITR ya toh properly file nahi ho raha ya galat regime me ho raha
Aur upar se log confuse hain:
“2025 Act aa gaya hai toh kya ab sab kuch change ho gaya?”
Yahin pe maximum mistake hoti hai.
