•STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS

•The Income -tax Act passed in 1961 has been subjected to numerous

•amendments since its passage more than sixty -four years ago. As a result of these

•amendments the basic structure of the Income -tax Act has been overburdened and

•language has become complex, increasing compliance for taxpayers and

•hampering efficiency of tax administration. Taxpayers, practitioners and tax

•administrators have also raised concerns about the complicated provisions and

•structure of the Income-tax Act.

•Therefore, the Government in the budget in July 2024 announced that a

•time bound comprehensive review of the Income -tax Act, 1961 would be

•undertaken to make the Act concise, lucid, easy to read and understand. The

•Government had introd uced the Income -tax Bill, 2025 in the Lok Sabha on 13th

•February, 2025 and it was referred to the Select Committee for examination.

•The Select Committee has laid its report in the Lok Sabha on the 21st

•July, 2025. Almost all of the recommendations of the Select Committee have been

•accepted by the Government. In addition, suggestions have been received from

•stakeholders about changes that would convey the proposed legal meaning more

accurately.There are corrections in the nature of drafting, alignment of phrases,

•consequential changes and cross-referencing. Therefore, a decision has been taken

•by the Government to withdraw the Income -tax Bill, 2025 as reported by the

•Select Committee. Consequently, Income-tax (No. 2) Bill, 2025 has been prepared

•to replace the Income-tax Act, 1961.

•The notes on clauses explain in detail the various provisions contained in

•the Bill.
