The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), under the Ministry of Finance, has issued a detailed notification to correct 76 errors in the recently notified Income‑Tax Rules 2026.
The corrections, published through Notification No. 64/2026 [G.S.R. 286(E)] in the Gazette of India (Extraordinary), aim to ensure accuracy and consistency across the extensive set of rules introduced on March 20, 2026, via G.S.R. 198(E).
The notification spans multiple pages of the Gazette, covering amendments from Rule 165 to Rule 243, and extends to various annexures, notes, and verification formats. Several technical adjustments have also been made to align rule references, such as replacing “section 242” with “rule 242” and standardizing terminology across reporting forms.
Among the notable changes are corrections in transfer‑pricing methods (RPM, CPM, TNMM, CUP) where typographical errors like “adjustme t” and “articulars” have been replaced with “adjustment” and “Particulars.”
Also, the CBDT has streamlined identification requirements by removing Aadhaar references from several columns and retaining PAN as the sole identifier in verification and reporting sections. Contact‑number fields have been reformatted to include country code and number, reflecting the Board’s effort to modernize data‑collection standards for international compliance.
The notification also corrects structural numbering in parts dealing with recognition, office‑bearer details, operations, assets, and liabilities, bringing uniformity to the layout of forms and schedules. Minor textual changes—such as replacing “securitization trust” with “Venture Capital Company or Venture Capital Fund” address definitional precision in specialized contexts.
The notification, issued under the signature of Pankaj Jindal, Joint Secretary, the notification underscores CBDT’s commitment to maintaining procedural accuracy in the implementation of the new Income‑Tax framework.
