Regarding the Income Tax Bill, 2025, which was recently introduced in Parliament and is currently under review by the Select Committee, stakeholders are invited to continue submitting their suggestions on the Bill’s provisions. These inputs will be compiled and forwarded to the Select Committee for further evaluation.
To streamline this process, a dedicated utility has been launched on the e-filing portal, accessible via the following link:
This link has been active on the e-filing portal since March 8, 2025, allowing stakeholders to submit their feedback. To participate, users must enter their name and mobile number, followed by OTP-based verification.
All suggestions must specify the relevant provisions of the Income-tax Rules, 1962, including the applicable section, sub-section, clause, rule, sub-rule, or form number.
As part of a broader review of the Income-tax Act, 1961, efforts are being made to gather inputs for simplifying related rules and forms. The key objectives of this initiative include enhancing clarity, reducing compliance burdens, eliminating outdated provisions, and making tax processes more user-friendly. Additionally, streamlining the rules and forms aims to simplify tax compliance, improve taxpayer understanding, minimize administrative errors, and enhance overall efficiency and transparency.
In line with this consultative approach, a dedicated committee reviewing the Rules and Forms is inviting stakeholder suggestions in the following four categories:
- Simplification of Language
- Reduction of Litigation
- Reduction of Compliance Burden
- Identification of Redundant/Obsolete Rules and Forms
