After the Income-tax Bill, 2025, which would replace the Income-tax Act, 1961, was introduced in Parliament on February 13, 2025 (read TaxNewsFlash), the proposed legislation was referred to a 31-member select committee for detailed examination.

Following extensive consultations with experts and stakeholders, the committee tabled a revised version of the legislation, along with a comprehensive report exceeding 4,500 pages, before the Lok Sabha on July 21, 2025.

The committee recommended several language refinements and referencing corrections aimed at simplifying the legislation, reducing ambiguity, and eliminating anomalies in the original draft.
