Determination of tax liability which no tax is payable under the provisions of the Act : Clause 190 of the Income Tax Bill, 2025 Vs. Section 110 of the Income-tax Act, 1961

Determination of tax where exempt income is included: deduction at the average tax rate neutralises tax on non chargeable income.

Clause 190 provides that where total income includes income on which no income-tax is payable, the assessee is entitled to a deduction from the tax chargeable equal to the tax computed at the average rate of income-tax on that non-taxable amount; the average rate is derived by dividing total tax by total income and applying that rate to the exempt portion to neutralise any tax attributable to non-chargeable income.
