The statutory schedules in the Indian Income Tax Bill, 2025 and the Income-tax Act, 1961 list identical minerals and associated groups eligible for tax benefits related to mineral prospecting, extraction, and processing. Both schedules enumerate 27 specific minerals and 16 groups of associated minerals, providing clarity on qualifying expenditures for tax deductions. Minor typographical differences exist but do not affect substantive coverage. The schedules aim to incentivize investment in the mining sector by offering tax relief on capital expenditure, supporting strategic and economic interests. However, ambiguities in mineral definitions and evolving classifications may cause disputes, highlighting the need for periodic updates. The continuity between the schedules ensures stability for taxpayers and authorities, though future reforms could introduce more dynamic mechanisms to address emerging minerals and technological advancements.
