India's gross direct tax collections rise 4.86% to ₹5.45 lakh crore in FY26 so far, net collections dip – Here's why

The gross direct tax collections in India for the financial year 2025-26 rose by 4.86 per cent to nearly ₹ 5.45 lakh crore as of June 19, from ₹ 5.19 lakh crore reported during the same period the previous year, according to data released by the Income Tax Department. There was a marginal dip of 1.39 per cent in the net tax collections, which stood at ₹ 4.59 crore, due to a 58 per cent increase in refunds issued, PTI reported. As of June 19, advance tax collections for the financial year 2025-26 were ₹ 1.56 lakh crore, a 3.87 per cent growth. The surge in advance tax collections was primarily due to a 5.86 per cent increase in corporate advance tax payments, while collections from non-corporate taxpayers decreased by 2.68 per cent. Even though corporate tax collections rose, the Securities Transaction Tax (STT) experienced a decrease, and the overall growth in collections was moderated by high refund outflows. The Income Tax Department recently launched the 'e-Pay Tax' feature, which is an online portal to make payments through the net banking facility of the authorised banks. The July 2024 Budget included a proposal for an extensive evaluation of the Income Tax Act of 1961. The aim was to streamline the Act for clarity, ultimately minimising disputes and litigation. On March 25, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman mentioned that the new Income Tax Bill will be discussed during the Parliament's monsoon session. The Finance Minister has previously indicated in his budget speech that under the updated tax structure, individuals with earnings up to ₹ 12 lakhs will incur no tax liability thanks to the raised rebate of ₹ 60,000. On March 18, the government urged stakeholders to provide their suggestions on the newly introduced Income Tax Bill 2025, which is currently being reviewed by the Select Committee for detailed consideration.

NPCI Introduces Real-Time PAN-Bank Account Linking On Income Tax Portal; Details Here

Last Updated: NPCI has directed banks to enable real-time PAN and bank account validation for the income tax e-filing portal using a dedicated API to enhance verification speed and accuracy. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has directed all member banks to enable real-time PAN and bank account validation for the income tax department's e-filing portal. According to a circular issued by NPCI, government departments will now be able to use a dedicated API service to verify key customer details such as PAN status, account validation, and account holder name directly through banks' Core Banking Systems (CBS). This step is expected to enhance the speed and accuracy of identity verification for tax and subsidy-related processes. 'This API will be used by government departments to verify the customer account details like PAN validation/Account Status Validation/Account holder name validation from their bank CBS," the circular noted. Banks Asked to Prioritise Integration All NPCI member banks have been advised to treat the implementation as a priority task, given that the service is being extended to the Government of India. 'As this is a service provided to the Government of India all the member banks are advised to necessary steps for implementation on priority," the NPCI added. Technical specifications and guidelines for the API integration will be shared separately with the banks to help them align with the required systems. NPCI also clarified that the circular can be shared internally by banks and financial institutions to ensure all stakeholders are informed. 'Technical specifications and comprehensive integration guidelines for the NACH PAN & Account Verification API shall be shared separately with the banks," it added. Why This Matters This integration will make processes like income tax refunds, direct benefit transfers, and other financial verifications faster and more reliable by removing delays and errors caused by manual or outdated systems. It also comes at a time when the government is pushing for increased use of API-based real-time data exchange to boost governance and financial inclusion. For any questions related to the implementation, NPCI has requested banks to use the CRM Tracker system.

I-T's benami unit attaches 170 acre of land in MP linked to private firm

Bhopal: In a major crackdown on alleged benami transactions , the Benami Prohibition Unit of the Income Tax department has provisionally attached 170 acres of land in Rewa district, Madhya Pradesh, under Section 24(3) of the Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions (PBPT) Act, 1988. The attached land is part of a larger block of approximately 700 acres across 112 khasras, originally purchased in 2011 for Rs 10.35 crore. The transactions were made in the names of Kardam Mishra and Ajay Kumar — both salaried employees of a wholly-owned subsidiary firm of a major private company. According to the department's findings, Mishra and Kumar were employees with nominal salaries, and their financial profiles did not support such a substantial investment in immovable property. During investigation, Mishra admitted under oath that the properties were purchased by senior officials of the private company in their names. A forensic financial analysis revealed that payments to the original landowners were made directly from the company's bank accounts. Subsequently, these properties were registered in the name of Prosperous Energy Pvt. Ltd. Meanwhile, the "consideration amount" was shown as routed through the bank accounts of Mishra and Kumar, only to be transferred back to the company in multiple tranches, indicating a classic case of layered benami transactions. The Income Tax department has determined that the real ownership and beneficial use of these properties rested with the private company and its subsidiary. This arrangement falls squarely under the definition of a "benami transaction" as per Section 2(9)(A) of the PBPT Act. A show-cause notice under Section 24(1) has been served to both the benamidars and the beneficial owners. Adding another layer to the case, it was discovered that the company had secured a short-term loan of Rs 925 crore from IDBI Bank by mortgaging these properties, along with others belonging to private firm. Due to default in repayment, IDBI Bank auctioned several of these properties. However, 46 khasras, covering approximately 170 acres, remained unsold and have now been provisionally attached to prevent any further alienation. Further proceedings under the PBPT Act are underway.
