Income tax in India is administered under the Income-tax Act, 1961, with the Income-tax Act, 2025 applying to later periods under renumbered sections. These guides cover return filing for salaried taxpayers, professionals and businesses, the choice between the old and new regimes, capital gains, and how to read and answer a notice or intimation.
