News and Updates

  1. ITR filing for AY 2026-27 is open

    CBDT notified all ITR forms (ITR-1 to ITR-7) for AY 2026-27 on 30 March 2026. During May 2026 the e-filing portal progressively enabled online and offline (Excel) utilities — including ITR-2, which went live for both online and Excel-utility filing on 27 May 2026. The due date for non-audit taxpayers is 31 July 2026. Note that Budget 2026 introduced a staggered timeline for returns previously due on 31 July; practitioners should confirm the precise due date applicable to each form against the bare Finance Act 2026 and the relevant CBDT notification, as secondary sources differ on the ITR-1 cut-off.

  2. GSTN advisory — new “Ship To GSTIN” field and E-Way Bill Closure feature

    GSTN issued an advisory introducing a mandatory “Ship To GSTIN” field for Bill-To / Ship-To transactions, alongside a new voluntary E-Way Bill Closure feature. The changes were made available in the Sandbox testing environment for ERP networks, with live deployment into production scheduled by 15 June 2026. Businesses with ERP-integrated e-invoicing / e-way bill systems should test and update their software ahead of go-live.

  3. CCFS 2026 — Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme (MCA)

    Notified vide MCA General Circular No. 01/2026, the Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme, 2026 is a one-time amnesty window open from 15 April 2026 to 15 July 2026, allowing companies to regularise overdue annual filings (such as MGT-7, AOC-4, ADT-1) by paying only 10% of the additional fees (i.e., up to a 90% waiver). Key points for practitioners:

    • The scheme grants immunity from penal action under Section 92 (Annual Return) and Section 137 (Financial Statements) only; it does not condone default in holding the AGM, which must be compounded separately.
    • It covers pending filings including FY 2024-25, as it applies to relevant e-forms due on any date during the scheme period.
    • For companies opting to strike off via STK-2 during the scheme, only 25% of the filing fee applies (subject to conditions).
    • UDIN generation remains governed by ICAI norms and is not covered by the scheme; UDIN must be generated as per ICAI guidelines.

    This is a strong client-outreach opportunity for any company carrying a backlog of annual filings. Verify the bare circular on mca.gov.in before filing.
