CBDT extends deadline for tax valuer, practitioner registrations to March 2027
The six-month extension gives valuers and authorized income-tax practitioners more time to register under the Income-tax Act, 2025, with CBDT also replacing the prescribed application forms.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the deadline for valuers and authorized income-tax practitioners to register under the new Income-tax Act, 2025, by six months to 31 March 2027. This comes as India transitions to the new tax law and provides more time for professionals yet to complete their registration. The earlier deadline was 30 September 2026.
The move is significant given the size of India's professional valuation and tax ecosystem, with 6,278 registered valuers listed by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India and over 4.6 lakh members by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. The CBDT has also replaced the application forms required for registration, with new forms 169 and 171, and changed a procedural requirement regarding electronic communication.
