Ho3IrO6 is a new octahedral lattice compound in which holmium ions form a distorted network of corner sharing octahedra, providing a clean platform to study frustration in rare earth iridates. X ray and neutron powder diffraction confirm a single phase cubic Ia-3 structure with ordered Ho and Ir sites and no detectable impurities, so the magnetic behaviour can be interpreted without structural complications. Low temperature magnetometry shows a sharp transition near 1 kelvin with strong field dependence, and Curie Weiss analysis indicates antiferromagnetic interactions and a large frustration parameter, pointing to competing exchanges on the octahedral lattice. AC susceptibility, nonlinear magnetization curves and field dependent anomalies reveal a genuine thermodynamic transition and metamagnetic steps, while heat capacity data are consistent with a low lying triplet ground state and an additional Schottky like feature around 5 K.
