Customs tariff amendments tighten concession eligibility and harmonise BCD entries while removing redundant provisions.
Amendments to customs tariff notifications revise BCD entries by omitting redundant listings, consolidating inconsistent tariff provisions, and narrowing ambiguous item scope so concessions apply only to intended end uses. Procedural and eligibility changes include imposing an actual user condition on a bamboo import concession, aligning technical conditions for satellite testing equipment and scientific instruments, clarifying assistive device coverage for disabled users, and removing the techno economic clearance requirement for a fertilizer renovation concessional BCD.

A Health Cess is proposed as an ad valorem customs duty on imported medical devices (HS headings 9018-9022) measured by import value under the Customs Act; export promotion scrips cannot be used for payment. Devices exempt from basic customs duty and inputs/parts used in manufacture are exempt from the Cess, and proceeds are to fund health infrastructure.

Customs duty revisions reshape tariffs to protect domestic manufacturing while exempting inputs and conditioning concessional rates.
Proposed revision of basic customs duty rates reallocates protection by increasing duties on finished consumer and automotive imports while reducing or exempting inputs and designated end-use materials to promote domestic manufacturing. Concessional rates and exemptions are conditional on specified end-uses and registrations, such as RNI registration for newsprint; electronic and mobile-phone components face staged duty increases with effective dates; defense-related imports by specified public sector undertakings are exempted subject to listed items.

The substituted Section 8B empowers the Central Government to apply safeguard measures-including imposition of a Safeguard Duty, application of a Tariff Rate Quota, or any other appropriate measure-when increased imports of an article cause or threaten to cause serious injury to domestic industry, centralising authority to identify qualifying import patterns and to select proportional remedial instruments.

Preferential tariff verification: suspension of duty concessions pending exporter verification and security requirement for import clearance.
New Chapter VAA (section 28DA) creates a framework for preferential tariff treatment under trade agreements, imposes importer obligations and requires time bound verification from the exporting country; preferential treatment may be suspended pending verification with clearance only on furnishing security equal to the differential duty, and may be denied in certain cases. Section 51B establishes an Electronic Duty Credit Ledger for duty credits in lieu of remission and extends recovery provisions to such credits. Amendments also add confiscation liability for contraventions of preferential claims and empower rulemaking under sections 156 and 157; an explanation preserves pre 2018 notices under section 28.

Cost of acquisition for segregated portfolio units: holding period continuity and proportional NAV-based allocation determine tax basis.
Units in a segregated portfolio inherit the holding period of the original units in the main portfolio, and the cost of acquisition of segregated portfolio units is the portion of the original cost proportionate to the ratio of the NAV of assets transferred to the segregated portfolio to the NAV of the total portfolio immediately before segregation; the cost of the original units in the main portfolio is deemed reduced by that allocated amount.

The proposal raises the audit exemption threshold for businesses where both aggregate cash receipts and aggregate cash payments do not exceed five percent of totals; it mandates that tax audit reports for business or professional income be furnished at least one month before the return filing due date to enable pre-filling, and it amends return due dates and partner treatment while making consequential TDS/TCS amendments to align withholding references with the revised audit framework.
