(A) Previous Year and

In the Indian taxation system, the concept of the “Previous Year” plays a crucial role in determining the time frame during which income is earned before being assessed for taxation. As defined under Section 3 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the previous year refers to the financial year immediately preceding the assessment year. It begins on 1st April of a given year and ends on 31st March of the following year. For example, income earned between 1st April 2024 and 31st March 2025 is taxed in the assessment year 2025–2026. This distinction between earning and assessment allows tax authorities and taxpayers adequate time to

consistent, equitable, and administratively sound.
