Amendments revise asset treatment and exemptions under the Wealth-tax Act: annuity exclusions narrowed; agricultural land explicitly exempt as belonging to the assessee; dwelling-house proviso limited to store or livestock use; life insurance policies with premiums payable for less than ten years receive a prorated non-inclusion based on the proportion of ten years; clause cross-references adjusted.
