Which law applies in July 2026?
July splits cleanly. What you deposit or file for the new year runs under the new Act; the income-tax returns due 31 July close out last year under the old one.
TDS/TCS deposits and returns, and GST, for the Apr–Jun 2026 quarter — Tax Year 2026-27. This is why the Q1 TCS return now falls on 31 July, aligned with the TDS return, instead of the old 15 July.
The income-tax returns due 31 July are for AY 2026-27 (income of FY 2025-26) — filed on the old ITR forms under the 1961 Act.
The e-filing portal supports both Acts together — just select the correct period when you pay or file.
Non-audit ITRs are due 31 July
If you file ITR-1 or ITR-2 — salary, pension or capital gains — or you run a non-audit firm or LLP, your return for AY 2026-27 is due 31 July 2026. Miss it and you lose the old-regime option and the right to carry forward losses, plus a late fee up to ₹5,000 under Section 234F.
ITR-1 / ITR-2, and non-audit firms & LLPs (ITR-5).
ITR-3 / ITR-4 — business & profession, non-audit (the new Finance Act, 2026 window).
Audit cases — all forms, where accounts need a tax audit.
The CCFS-2026 amnesty is extended to 31 August
If your company has overdue MCA filings, the Companies Compliance Facilitation Scheme (CCFS-2026) lets you clear the backlog paying normal fees plus only a fraction of the additional fee — a one-time window the MCA has extended to 31 August 2026 (Circular 03/2026, following the June data-centre fire). It covers companies; LLPs are not included.
