Clause 532 authorises the Central Government to make schemes by notification for any purpose under the Income Tax Bill, 2025, aiming to enhance efficiency, transparency, and accountability by reducing taxpayer-official interface and optimising resource utilisation.

The Board may be empowered to make schemes subject to control of the Central Government.
