From 1 April 2026, a quiet but important change has come into effect in India\u2019s tax system. The <\/span>government has replaced Form 15G and Form 15H with a single new form called Form 121<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For years, individuals have used Form 15G and Form 15H to ensure that tax is not deducted at source when their total income is below the taxable limit. This was especially common for bank interest, fixed deposits and similar income streams. While the intent was clear, the process often created confusion. Many taxpayers were unsure about which form to use, when to submit it and whether they were even eligible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Form 121 aims to fix this. Instead of maintaining two separate forms based on age, the system now moves to a single, unified declaration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
