Himank Singhla, Partner at SBHS & Associates, says, 'It's a big relief to see that the Excel Utilities for ITR-1 and ITR-4 for Assessment Year 2025–26 have been released by the Income Tax Department. I have already filed ITR-4 using Excel Utility, and I am happy to share that the process was smooth - there are no major changes in the ITR-4 schema compared to last year, which makes it even easier for regular filers and tax professionals. However, a very important change has been made in the schema for ITR-1. A new validation rule has been introduced in the utility itself: if certain TDS section codes appear in Schedule TDS2 or TDS3—such as 194B, 194BB, 194S, 194LA, 195, 196A, 194Q, 194R and others—the income tax return will now be considered invalid for filing under ITR-1. This means taxpayers having income under special rates or from sources like online games, lotteries, crypto, property transfers, must use ITR-2 or other appropriate forms.This is a very welcome and practical change. In past years, many taxpayers unknowingly filed ITR-1 with such incomes, only to face defective return notices from CPC. By building this validation directly into the utility, the Department has helped prevent incorrect filings at source, saving both time and confusion.'

IndiaAI empanelment drives down prices of GPUs in second round

The GPUs are sourced under a government scheme to provide subsidised compute power to local artificial intelligence decline in the price of the same GPU model from the first round to the second round ranged from just Rs 4 an hour to as high as Rs 1,234 per some companies told ET that the reduced L1 rates will help kickstart artificial intelligence pilot projects in various domains, which previously may have been cost-prohibitive, others warned of a price bloodbath for GPU capacity prices are possibly the lowest in the world for GPU services, helped by the 40% government startups, developers, researchers and corporations exploring and implementing AI would be able to afford GPU capacity by leasing from the identified providers.'All existing empanelled players will be asked to match new L1 prices,' IndiaAI Mission chief executive Abhishek Singh told ET. 'From what we hear from companies, they will mostly match, to retain their priority of allocation of AI workloads.'As many as 53 categories of GPUs have been offered in the second round of the tender, out of which some are new (like Nvidia's B200 GPUs). In 16 categories, prices have reduced compared with the first said assigning AI workloads is an ongoing process and companies have six months to provision the per the IndiaAI website, 4,423 GPUs with a total subsidy of Rs 111.86 crore have been allocated so far. Compute has been allocated to 21 applicants from academia, government entities, early-stage startups, MSMEs and the student startup Sarvam AI , the first startup selected to build an indigenous foundational model under the IndiaAI Mission, has already been allocated 4,000 GPUs, Singh said. Others like Soket, Gnani and Gan are expected to give their estimate on the compute they need.'Allocation is dynamic. Companies have invested heavily in bidding for GPUs. Commitments require significant money and those in the business have done so after their assessments,' he has received the highest subsidy allocated under the programme at Rs 98.68 crore, out of a bill of Rs 246.71 crore for 4,096 Nvidia H100 GPUs, as per the IndiaAI minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday announced the addition of 15,916 GPUs to the existing cluster of 18,417 GPUs under the programme, taking the total to 34,333 include GPUs of Nvidia, AMD, AWS and Intel.
