The law

Every income-tax form, and what it became

All 212 entries in the department’s own forms concordance — the form as it stood under the Income-tax Act, 1961, and the form of the Income-tax Rules, 2026 it turned into. 209 of them have a page of their own.

Why the numbers all changed

The 1962 Rules accumulated forms by insertion for sixty years, which is how the department ended up with Form 3CEFC and Form 10BBD. The 2026 Rules renumber the lot into a single run, so a form number quoted in an order, a circular or a judgment almost never means the same form today. The department published a concordance mapping the old numbers onto the new ones; this hub is built on it.

The mapping is not one-to-one in either direction. Three audit forms — 3CA, 3CB and 3CD — collapse into a single 2026 Form 26. Form 49A splits into two. And sixteen 2026 forms have no 1961 predecessor at all.

The groups

The grouping is ours, read off the department’s own description of each form; its concordance carries no taxonomy at all. Every form sits in exactly one group.
GroupWhat is in itForms
Transfer pricing and cross-border taxForms for a transaction that crosses a border or a related party: the transfer-pricing reports, the advance pricing agreements and safe harbours, the country-by-country filings, residence certificates and the paperwork that has to precede a remittance abroad.40
Tax deducted and collected at sourceThe deduction and collection machinery — the quarterly statements a deductor files, the certificates it hands over, the declarations that stop deduction at source, and the applications for a lower or nil rate.36
Audit reports and accountants' reportsForms an accountant signs, not the assessee. The Act uses these where it will not take a claim on the assessee’s word: the report is the condition of the claim, not a formality attached to it.22
Appeals, objections and dispute resolutionThe forms that start a challenge — to the Joint Commissioner (Appeals) or the Commissioner (Appeals), to the Appellate Tribunal, to the Dispute Resolution Committee — and the cross-objections that answer one.10
Search, survey, demand and recoveryForms the department issues rather than receives: the warrant that authorises a search, the notice that raises a demand, the certificate that starts recovery, the clearances a person leaving India needs, and the internal references an officer makes before an anti-avoidance ruling.19
Registration, approval and notificationApplications for the department’s permission — registration of a trust or institution, approval of a fund or a research programme, notification of a project or a bond — and the orders that grant, refuse or cancel that permission.31
Statements, returns and reportingPeriodic and annual reporting — statements of income distributed, of specified financial transactions, of reportable accounts, and the information a person is required to file whether or not tax is due.31
Declarations and options exercised by the taxpayerShort forms the assessee signs himself, usually to claim something or to stop something happening: a declaration that income is below the threshold, an option exercised, an undertaking given.7
Certificates issued to a taxpayerDocuments a taxpayer collects rather than files: proof of a deduction, of a donation, of residence, of a disability, of a remittance received.8
Registers, records and other formsWhat is left when the rest is sorted: the registers a business keeps, the nomination forms, the practitioner registration, and the odd form that belongs to no family at all.5

Transfer pricing and cross-border tax

Forms for a transaction that crosses a border or a related party: the transfer-pricing reports, the advance pricing agreements and safe harbours, the country-by-country filings, residence certificates and the paperwork that has to precede a remittance abroad.

Declarations and options exercised by the taxpayer

Short forms the assessee signs himself, usually to claim something or to stop something happening: a declaration that income is below the threshold, an option exercised, an undertaking given.

What here is the department’s and what is ours. The form number, the sentence describing it, and the pairing of the old form with the form it became are all taken from the Income Tax Department’s own published forms concordance, and are reproduced as the department wrote them — including its abbreviations and its occasional typing errors. Everything else on this page is ours: the plain-English account of what the form is, the reading of which provision requires it, the grouping the form sits in, the note on where you meet it, and the selection of cases. The department has not said that this form serves that section; we have read that off the description and off its own section concordance, and we can be wrong. Before you rely on any of it, open the form.
