Union Budget 2026-27 - Finance Bill, 2026
1. Correction is proposed to be made in section 21(5) of the Income-tax Act, 2025 to align with the corresponding provision of Income-tax Act, 1961 so as to provide that annual value of property held as stock-in-trade to be taken as nil upto two year from the end of the financial year in which certificate of completion of construction is obtained from the competent authority.
2. Section 22 of the Act deals with deductions in the case of income from house property. Further, section 22(2) provides that, the aggregate amount of deduction in the case of self-occupied property shall not exceed Rs. 2 lakh where property is acquired or constructed with borrowed capital. However, this ceiling of Rs. 2 lakhs has not included the deduction of prior-period interest payable for the acquisition or construction of property.
2.1 It is pertinent to mention that section 22 of the Act corresponds to section 24 of the Income-tax Act, 1961. In the Income-tax Act, 1961, aggregate amount of deduction for the interest on the borrowed capital was inclusive of prior period interest payable
2.2 In this regard, it is proposed to amend section 22(2) of the Act so as to provide that aggregate amount of deduction for interest on borrowed capital shall be inclusive of prior- period interest payable.
3. Section 262(10)(c) provides that Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) may make rules for categories of documents pertaining to business or profession in which Permanent Account Number shall be quoted by every person.

3.1 It is pertinent to mention that section 262(10)(c) of the Act corresponds to section 139A(5)(c) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 which provides that every person shall quote such number in all documents pertaining to such transactions as may be prescribed by the Board in the interest of revenue.
3.2 In this regard, it is proposed to amend section 262(10)(c) to enable Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to make rules for quoting of Permanent Account Number in documents related to such transactions which do not relate to business or profession.
4. These amendments will take effect from 1 st April, 2026.
