Implementation of the New IT Act, 2025- Transition from Form 15G/15H to Consolidated Form 121 for TDS- Exempted Incomes - Regarding No. WSU/TDS Issues/E-772040/2026-27/11 dated 13/04/2026
Official record
Open source pageSummary
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation has introduced Form No. 121, consolidating the previous Forms 15G and 15H, to allow eligible resident individuals and entities to receive certain incomes without tax deduction at source (TDS) when their estimated total income for the tax year is nil. Declarants must submit Part A of the form to each payer before the transaction date. Payers are required to verify eligibility, assign a Unique Identification Number (UIN) to each declaration, report these monthly to the Income-tax Department, and quote the UIN in quarterly TDS statements (Form No. 140). The transition aligns with the Income-tax Act, 2025, and aims to streamline reporting and reduce administrative complexity for both declarants and payers.
