Update on the Union Budget for 2021

Section 44AB's audit ceiling has been enhanced from Rs 5 crore to Rs 10 crore. The cap has been raised for taxpayers that do 95 per cent of their commercial transactions digitally. Furthermore, taxpayers must pay advance tax on dividend income only when the corporation declares such payouts.

The Income Tax Department introduced its latest e-filing website on June 7, 2021. The previous portal, www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in, will soon be replaced by this new portal. The new platform offers a speedy and flawless ITR filing process by focusing on a user-friendly e-filing experience for taxpayers. The new portal offers ITR-1 and ITR-4 (online and offline) and ITR-2 (offline). Other ITRs will be available, including the ITR-3, ITR-6, ITR-5, and ITR-7. For June 2021, taxpayers will be able to use the new ITR filing software for free. The ITR will be processed immediately, resulting in a speedy income tax refund. All tax-related interactions will be represented on a single dashboard.
