Comparison of section 475 'Removal, concealment, transfer or delivery of property to prevent tax ' between the Income-Tax Act, 2025 (as passed) and the Income-Tax Bill, 2025 (as originally introduced)

Fraudulent disposition of property to frustrate tax execution now criminalised, tied specifically to a certificate drawn under section 413.

The offence criminalises anyone who fraudulently removes, conceals, transfers or delivers any property or interest therein with intent to prevent such property or interest from being taken in execution of a certificate drawn u/s 413; punishment is rigorous imprisonment up to two years and a fine. The enacted text replaces the Bill's broader 'as prescribed' formulation with a direct reference to section 413, clarifying the instrument whose execution the offence seeks to frustrate. The clause contains no exceptions, definitions of 'fraudulently,' or evidentiary rules.
