(File)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\"><strong>Parliament News Today:<\/strong> Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will introduce the revised Income-tax Bill, 2025, in the Lok Sabha today, replacing the original draft tabled on February 13, 2025.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">The earlier version was formally withdrawn, drawing criticism over the time and effort spent on its drafting. The government, however, maintains the move is aimed at ensuring legislative clarity and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Sitharaman said the fresh draft incorporates technical corrections, including improved phrasing, drafting refinements, and better cross-referencing. A key factor behind the overhaul was the extensive feedback from the Select Committee of Parliament, chaired by BJP MP Baijayant Panda.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju rejected suggestions that the earlier work had gone to waste. \u201cWhen a parliamentary committee submits a report with several proposed amendments, and many are accepted, the standard practice is to withdraw the original Bill and present a revised version,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">He noted that adopting over 285 suggested changes \u2014 including 32 major ones \u2014 through the amendment route would have required three separate motions for each, making the process unviable. \u201cWithdrawing and reintroducing the Bill saves time and ensures procedural efficiency,&#8221; Rijiju added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><strong>The new draft is expected to include most of the committee\u2019s recommendations. Key provisions include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>Limiting anonymous donations solely to purely religious trusts, excluding those engaged in social services.<\/li>\n<li>Allowing taxpayers to claim TDS refunds after the ITR deadline without penalties.<\/li>\n<li>Mandating tax authorities to issue notices and consider responses before initiating action.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">The Bill also proposes a modern, digital-first, faceless assessment system to simplify compliance and curb corruption, while replacing the complex legal language of the 1961 Act with clearer, more accessible terms.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">If enacted, the legislation will replace the 63-year-old Income-tax Act with a streamlined, litigation-resistant direct tax code \u2014 a reform the government calls one of the most ambitious in recent decades.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aparna-2023-11-979f2907c6165cf4d4e3836c347fb133.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/aparna-deb-20948.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Aparna Deb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Aparna Deb is a Subeditor and writes for the business vertical of News18.com.
