3. It is proposed to amend section 402(27) of the Income-tax Act, 2025.
4. This amendment will take effect from 1st April, 2026.
[Clause 78]

Definition of authorised person clarified as the payor for non resident payments for foreign exchange asset transfers. Adds a statutory definition of authorised person to identify the person responsible for paying when consideration is paid to a non resident for transfer of a foreign exchange asset, aligning the 2025 Act with earlier income tax law and amending the provision governing the person responsible for paying to clarify payor identification and related withholding and reporting obligations.Press 'Enter' after typing page number.
