The new form 26AS has come into effect from 1st June 2020 by insertion of new section285BB in the Finance Act, 2020.

Since the details of high-value transactions will now be reflected to the taxpayers in the new form, as against the tax department earlier receiving information from financial institutions and then acting upon it, there would be now a greater onus on taxpayers to comply in a voluntary manner.
