New Income Tax Bill: The New Income Tax Bill will be presented in Parliament today, no change in tax slab or deadline to file a return


Posted on 13th Feb 2025 11:42 am by rohit kumar

The new Income Tax Bill, 2025, which is being introduced in the Lok Sabha on February 13, has been prepared to replace the old law of 1961. The goal of the new law is to eliminate the complexities of the old law make it understandable to the common taxpayers and reduce the burden of litigation.

 

Many things were added to the Income Tax Act of 1961 during 66 budgets, which made it increasingly complex. While on the one hand, the government claims that the new law will bring more clarity regarding taxes, the common people still have doubts about its actual impact. The special thing is that the new bill does not change the tax slabs, the time limit for filing income tax returns, or capital gains taxation. It ensures stability and predictability in tax planning. At the same time, a provision has been made to impose more penalties for late payment of tax and non-compliance of rules. Better AI-based investigation will be done to detect tax evasion. In the new law also, the financial year will be calculated between April 1 and March 31 as before. There will be no change in this.
