Amendments expand tax exemption routes for specified SWF and PF investors by permitting Category I/II AIFs with up to fifty percent non-eligible investments and investment in InvITs, allowing investment via newly formed domestic holding companies with minimum seventy-five percent infrastructure investments, and permitting investment in NBFC-IDF/IFC entities that lend at least ninety percent to infrastructure entities; exemptions will be calculated proportionately where thresholds are not met.

Taxation of overseas retirement withdrawals: Central Government may prescribe year and manner of taxation to remove timing mismatch.
A new Section 89A is proposed to permit the Central Government to prescribe the year and manner in which income of a specified person from a specified account is taxed, addressing mismatches where an overseas retirement account is taxed on withdrawal abroad but on accrual in India; "specified person", "specified account" and "notified country" are defined, and the amendment is to apply prospectively from the tax year beginning 1 April 2022.

Minimum Alternate Tax adjustments allow recomputation of past years' book profit for APA and secondary adjustments.
Amendments to section 115JB allow a taxpayer to apply to the Assessing Officer for recomputation of past years' book profit and tax where past year income is included in current books due to an APA or secondary adjustment; section 154 applies and its four year period is reckoned from the end of the financial year in which the application is received. Similar treatment is provided for specified dividend income of foreign companies where such income is taxed below MAT under a double taxation agreement, by adjusting both the dividend income and related expense in computing book profit.

Tax audit threshold increased for eligible businesses with limited cash transactions, easing audit compliance from assessment year 2021-22.
The Finance Bill, 2021 proposes to raise the higher audit-threshold applicable to businesses that maintain limited cash transactions-specifically where aggregate cash receipts and aggregate cash payments do not exceed the prescribed five percent limits-so as to reduce compliance burden on small and medium enterprises and incentivise non-cash transactions. The amendment is prospective and will apply from 1 April 2021 for the relevant assessment year and thereafter, with existing audit requirements remaining in force where the cash-transaction conditions are not met.

Advance tax interest exemption: dividend income (excluding deemed dividend) added to 234C exclusions when full tax paid later.
The amendment adds dividend income (excluding deemed dividend) to the list of incomes exempted from interest for shortfall in advance tax instalments, so long as the taxpayer pays the full tax in subsequent instalments; it thereby prevents interest being charged on advance tax shortfalls attributable to dividend receipts.

Employee contribution treatment clarified: employer-payment exclusion no longer applies for determining due date and deduction entitlement.
The Finance Bill amends relevant deduction and employer-payment exclusion provisions to state explicitly that the employer-payment exclusion does not apply, and is deemed never to have applied, for determining the "due date" for employee contributions; the amendments distinguish employee contribution (the employee's own funds held in fiduciary capacity) from employer contribution to prevent unjust enrichment and to clarify deduction entitlement and compliance obligations.

The proposed Dispute Resolution Committee under section 245MA offers an optional, faceless dispute resolution route for small and medium taxpayers where returned income and aggregate variation fall within prescribed thresholds; exclusions apply for cases originating from searches, requisitions, surveys or specified information and for taxpayers subject to detention, prosecution or conviction.

Assessment procedure reform: pre notice enquiries and prior authority approval introduced, with risk flagged information driving reopens.
Proposed amendments recast assessment procedure so section 147 reassessments require information suggesting escaped income and prior specified authority approval before issuing a section 148 notice. Section 148A mandates, except in search/requisition cases, prior enquiries, an opportunity to be heard and a reasoned order on fitness to issue notice, with Board risk flagged data and third party information treated as triggering information. Time limits retain a general three year bar with limited extended exceptions, exclude periods of taxpayer response or court stays, and preserve Assessing Officer powers to address subsequently discovered issues during proceedings.

Faceless notice issuance: prescribed income-tax authority may issue notices under inquiry-before-assessment provision enabling centralized automated compliance.
Amendment empowers the prescribed income-tax authority, alongside the Assessing Officer, to issue notices under section 142(1)(i) to compel non-filers to submit returns; this enables centralized, automated and faceless issuance of such notices and aligns notice powers with the Government's policy to eliminate person-to-person taxpayer-department interface, effective 1 April 2021.

Faceless proceedings enable jurisdictionless appellate processing to reduce human interface and improve administrative efficiency.
Faceless proceedings for appellate disposal before the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal are proposed to eliminate physical interface to the extent technologically feasible, optimise resource utilisation through economies of scale and functional specialisation, and introduce an appellate system with dynamic jurisdiction. The Central Government would be empowered to notify a scheme and issue notifications adapting or disapplying provisions of the Act as necessary to implement the faceless framework, with publication in the Official Gazette and parliamentary laying requirements.

Discontinuance of Income-tax Settlement Commission: pending settlement cases transferred to Interim Boards with inherited powers.
Income-tax Settlement Commission is discontinued and pending settlement applications will be handled by one or more Interim Boards of Settlement composed of three senior officers; the Interim Boards inherit the Commission's powers mutatis mutandis for disposal and rectification of orders, pending applications are deemed valid where invalidity was not declared, assessees may withdraw applications within a prescribed period causing proceedings to abate with specified exclusions to limitation and use of material, and the Central Government may notify a scheme to regulate settlement of pending applications and adapt Act provisions for transitional efficiency.

Reduction of assessment time-limit shortens statutory window for completing income-tax assessments under faceless assessment reforms.
The Finance Bill reduces the statutory time limit for completion of income-tax assessment proceedings, further shortening the window for passing assessment orders in scrutiny cases. The amendment is justified by the operational efficiencies of the Faceless Assessment Scheme-characterised by electronic, team-based, jurisdiction-less procedures-and aims to reduce taxpayer compliance burden and enable earlier detection of revenue leakages; it takes effect from 1 April, 2021.

Double deduction prevention: corpus and loan-funded applications excluded unless reinvested or repaid from prior-year income.
Voluntary contributions specifically directed to form part of corpus must be invested or deposited in prescribed modes maintained separately; application from corpus and from loans or borrowings will not qualify as application for computing the mandatory application threshold, except where reinvestment to corpus or repayment of loans from previous year's income is deposited into prescribed modes, which will then be allowed as application in that previous year. No set-off or allowance of excess application from years before the previous year shall be permitted.

Exemption limits for ULIPs tightened, with excluded policies taxed as capital gains and included under equity-oriented fund rules.
Amendments exclude from the exemption under clause (10D) of section 10 those ULIPs issued on or after 1 February 2021 whose annual premium for any policy year (or aggregate premium across multiple ULIPs held by a person) exceeds the prescribed threshold, while excluding death proceeds. Such excluded ULIPs are classified as capital assets, gains on redemption are to be taxed as capital gains under a new section 45(1B) with rules for computation, and will be treated as equity oriented funds for section 112A and 111A purposes. STT is made applicable on maturity or partial withdrawal of such ULIPs.

Show AI Summary
Slump sale definition expanded to include all forms of transfer, extending scope of capital gains computation.
Amendment expands the scope of the slump sale definition so that any mode of transfer included in the statutory definition of "transfer" can constitute a slump sale for capital gains computation; this codifies the judicial principle that transactions in substance amounting to a sale - including those with non monetary consideration or alternative legal forms - fall within the slump sale regime and aims to prevent structuring to defeat the provision.
