Electronic payment requirement extended to include prescribed electronic modes, altering payment compliance and tax treatment from specified effective dates.
Amendments add "other electronic mode as may be prescribed" to the list of acceptable non cash payment modes across multiple income tax provisions, so payments or receipts through prescribed electronic instruments will satisfy statutory conditions for donation exemption, capital expenditure recognition, disallowance avoidance, actual cost determination, stamp duty linked valuation, presumptive taxation eligibility, and employment related deductions. The changes apply from specified effective dates: most tax treatment provisions from 1 April 2020 and the prohibitions on specified cash receipts/repayments from 1 September 2019.

Mandatory electronic payment acceptance requires businesses above a turnover threshold to provide prescribed digital payment facilities, with daily penalties.
A new provision requires persons carrying on business whose total sales, turnover or gross receipts in the immediately preceding previous year exceed a specified turnover threshold to provide facilities for accepting payments through the prescribed electronic modes. Failure to provide such prescribed electronic payment facilities attracts a daily monetary penalty, subject to proof of good and sufficient reasons, with penalty imposition by the Joint Commissioner. A consequential amendment prohibits banks and system providers from imposing any charge for using the prescribed electronic payment modes.

IFSC tax incentives expand tax-neutral transfers and exemptions to promote external borrowing and extended profit-linked deductions.
Proposed IFSC tax measures include treating transfers of specified securities by Category III AIFs with all non-resident unit-holders as not constituting transfer, empowering notification of additional securities, exempting interest payable to non-residents on borrowings by IFSC units, extending tax neutrality to dividends paid out of accumulated IFSC income, exempting distributions by mutual funds in IFSC with all non-resident unit-holders from additional tax, ensuring full access to profit-linked deductions for IFSC units by removing restrictive computation conditions, and increasing the one-hundred-per-cent deduction to any ten consecutive assessment years within a fifteen-year window.

Interest recognition rule extended to regulated NBFCs, with deductions allowed only when interest is actually paid by return-filing deadline.
The accrual-exception that taxes interest on bad or doubtful debts when credited or received is extended to include deposit-taking NBFCs and systemically important non-deposit-taking NBFCs; correspondingly, interest deductions for payments to these NBFCs are allowable only if actually paid on or before the due date for filing the return of income, aligning their tax treatment with other regulated financial institutions.

Special taxation regime for offshore funds relaxed to ease corpus and remuneration conditions for fund managers in India.
Section 9A provides a safe harbour excluding business connection and residency of an eligible investment fund solely because fund management is undertaken by an eligible fund manager in India, subject to conditions on fund residence, corpus, diversification and arm's length remuneration. Proposed amendments relax the corpus condition to require a minimum corpus of one hundred crore rupees at the end of six months from establishment or at the end of the previous year, and replace the remuneration test with an amount to be prescribed; the changes operate retrospectively from 1st April, 2019 for the relevant assessment year and thereafter.

Interest exemption for nonresident bond investors removes withholding on offshore rupee bond interest issued during the announced period.
Amendment incorporates the government press release exemption into the statute to provide that interest paid to a non-resident by a specified company in respect of monies borrowed from a source outside India by way of issue of rupee denominated bonds during the announced period is exempt from tax, and that no tax was required to be deducted at source for interest paid on such bonds; the amendment is effective from the start of the stated fiscal year and applies to the specified assessment year and subsequent assessment years.

Tax incentive for affordable housing expands interest deduction on home loans, subject to property value and ownership conditions.
A new provision permits a deduction for interest on residential house loans from financial institutions, subject to conditions: loan sanctioned within the prescribed fiscal window, stamp duty value of the property below a prescribed ceiling, and the borrower owning no residential property on sanction date. The deduction is exclusive and cannot be claimed under any other provision for the same interest. Parallel amendments amend the affordable-housing deduction by capping carpet area by urban category and imposing the same stamp duty valuation limit for qualifying housing projects approved on or after the specified date; both amendments take effect from the same fiscal commencement and apply to ensuing assessment years.

National Pension System incentives: higher tax exemption on lump sums, expanded employer deduction and Tier-II deductibility for central employees.
The Finance Bill increases the tax-exempt portion of lump-sum NPS payments on account closure or opt-out, raises the allowable employer-side deduction for Central Government contributions to employee NPS accounts, and makes Central Government employees' Tier-II NPS contributions eligible for deduction under the general savings deduction provision, with these changes operating prospectively for subsequent assessment years.

Carry-forward of startup losses: relaxed shareholder continuity test expands eligibility for loss set-off for eligible startups.
Proposed amendments permit closely held eligible start-ups to carry forward and set off pre previous year losses on satisfaction of either the existing clause (a) shareholder continuity test or the start up specific clause (b) condition; other closely held companies remain subject to clause (a) only. Amendments to section 54GB extend the rollover relief sunset for investment in eligible start-ups, reduce the required post subscription shareholding threshold to twenty five per cent, and shorten the asset transfer restriction from five years to three years, effective from the stated fiscal implementation date.

Carry-forward of tax losses extended to companies under tribunal approved resolution plans after offering tax authorities a hearing.
Carry-forward and set-off restrictions under section 79 are removed for companies (and their subsidiaries) whose boards were suspended and replaced and whose shareholding changed pursuant to a tribunal approved resolution plan, provided the jurisdictional tax officer was given a reasonable opportunity to be heard. Corresponding amendment to the computation of book profit for minimum alternate tax permits reduction by aggregate unabsorbed depreciation and brought forward loss (excluding depreciation) for such companies.

Tax-neutral demerger rules exempt Ind-AS valuation differences, allowing resulting companies to adopt Ind-AS values for transferred undertakings.
