Tax laws can often feel like a maze. Just when you think you have found your way, the path changes. For decades, non-profits in India have navigated the scattered provisions of the Income Tax Act 1961. Now, with the introduction of the Income Tax Act 2025, we are looking at a new map.

The new Act promises to simplify things by consolidating rules for NPOs into a single chapter. But simpler does not always mean easier. Transitioning to a new system brings its own set of questions about compliance, timelines, and registration validity.

Last week, we gathered for a PATTIC Gram Sabha to decode these changes. We invited Mr. Sharad Bhargava from Saathi Development Services LLP to guide us. He broke down the shift from the old provisions to the new Chapter, explaining what has been removed and what needs your immediate attention.
