    The Finance Bill expressly authorises the Board or the Principal Commissioner/Commissioner to assign functions to officers as proper officers, to impose conditions or limitations (including by territory or goods), and to allow concurrent exercise of powers. Section 3 includes DRI, Audit and Preventive formations within customs officers. Amendments also enable rules imposing additional importer obligations to counter undervaluation, revise advance ruling fees, withdrawal and validity, confirm sole jurisdiction of the original officer for reassessment after inquiries, and criminalise unlawful publication of import/export declaration data.

    Promoting Voluntary Tax Compliance and Reducing Litigation
    Show AI Summary
    Updated return scheme: voluntary disclosure with staged additional tax and required proof of payment for compliance.
    A voluntary updated return regime is proposed by inserting section 139(8A) permitting any person to furnish a prescribed updated return within twenty four months from the end of the relevant assessment year, subject to exclusions where it reduces tax or where specified enforcement actions or proceedings exist. The updated return must be accompanied by proof of payment of tax, interest, fee and an additional tax computed as a staged percentage of tax and interest payable; computation rules, credit adjustments and interest calculations are detailed in newly proposed section 140B, and related consequential amendments are proposed.
    NewsBills
    Definition of the term “slump sale”:
    Show AI Summary
    Slump sale definition amended to replace 'sales' with 'transfer', clarifying scope of transfers under tax law.
    The statutory definition of slump sale is amended to substitute the word "sales" with "transfer", clarifying that a slump sale means the transfer of one or more undertakings for a lump sum consideration without values being assigned to individual assets and liabilities, and the amendment is given retrospective effect to apply to the specified assessment year and subsequent assessment years.
    NewsBills
    Reduction of Goodwill from block of assets to be considered as ‘transfer’
    Show AI Summary
    Goodwill treatment: reduction from block of assets deemed a transfer, triggering capital gains consequences and cost adjustment.
    Goodwill is not a depreciable asset and where purchased its purchase price remains the cost of acquisition for capital gains computation, after reducing any depreciation previously claimed; reduction of goodwill from the block of assets is deemed a transfer for capital gains purposes and the clarificatory amendment applies retrospectively to the relevant assessment year and subsequent years.
    NewsBills
    Income-tax authorities for the purposes of section 133A of the Act
    Show AI Summary
    Income-tax authority definition revised to limit qualifying officers to those specified by the Board, altering entry-and-verification scope.
    The proposed amendment restricts the definition of income-tax authority to officers who are subordinate to the Principal Director General or Director General or Principal Chief Commissioner or Chief Commissioner as specified by the Board, thereby limiting which subordinate officers may exercise entry and verification powers under the section; the amendment takes effect from 1 April, 2022.

    Amendment in the provisions of section 119 of Income-tax Act
    Show AI Summary
    Relaxation of late filing fee enables administrative orders to relieve classes facing genuine hardship from mandated fee imposition.
    The amendment expressly adds the statutory late filing fee into the list of provisions for which the Board may, by general or special order, provide relaxation or relief for classes of incomes or cases; this enables the Board to issue orders to exempt or mitigate the fee for persons facing genuine hardships in filing returns on time.
    NewsBills
    Amendment in the provisions of section 263 of the Act
    Show AI Summary
    Revision powers under section 263 expand to permit review of Transfer Pricing Officer orders with mandated implementation timelines.
    Proposed amendments grant senior officers assigned transfer pricing jurisdiction power under section 263 to call for and examine TPO records and to revise TPO orders deemed erroneous and prejudicial to revenue. Section 153 is modified so subsections (3) and (5) apply to TPO orders, a new subsection (5A) obliges the Assessing Officer to modify assessments in conformity with a TPO order within two months of receipt, and related implementation provisions are extended to such orders.

    Consequential Amendments
    Show AI Summary
    Approval authority for trusts changed to Principal Commissioner or Commissioner, replacing prescribed authority references and procedural filing locus.
    Proposal to substitute references to the prescribed authority with Principal Commissioner or Commissioner in specified sub clauses and the nineteenth proviso of clause (23C) of section 10 to align textual references with the existing filing and approval regime for trust applications under the first regime; the amendment is corrective and consequential to prior 2020 changes.
    NewsBills
    Clarifying that application will be allowed only when its actually paid
    Show AI Summary
    Application of income: amounts by trusts treated as applied only when actually paid, with an anti-duplication rule preventing later claims.
    Explanatory provisions treat sums payable by trusts as application of income in the previous year in which such sums are actually paid, irrespective of when the liability arose under the trust's regular accounting method; a proviso bars treating a sum as applied in a later previous year if it has already been claimed as applied in an earlier year. The amendments apply prospectively to the assessment years following the implementation date.

    Voluntary Contributions for the renovation and repair of temples, mosques, gurudwaras, churches etc ...
    Show AI Summary
    Voluntary renovation contributions may be treated as corpus if kept separate, used only for the specified purpose and properly invested.
    Trusts or institutions may, at their option, treat voluntary contributions for renovation or repair of notified religious places as part of the corpus, subject to conditions: application only for the specified purpose, no onward donations, separate identification, and investment in forms and modes specified under subsection (5) of section 11; violation of any condition renders the sum deemed income of the year in which the breach occurs. Parallel explanatory provisions are proposed for clause (23C) of section 10. Amendments are proposed retrospective to 1 April 2021.
    NewsBills
    Taxation of certain income of the trusts or institutions under both the regimes at special rate
    Show AI Summary
    Special-rate taxation of trust income under new provision: specified breach income taxed separately and no deductions allowed under the rule.
    Proposed amendments subject defined categories of trust or institution income to a special rate by treating only the part of income improperly applied, invested, accumulated or attributed as taxable specified income; disallow deductions or set-offs against such specified income; deem unutilised accumulated sums to be taxable in the last year of accumulation; and define specified income to include excessive accumulations, deemed income under accumulation rules, income rendered non-exempt for impermissible investments or benefit transfers, and income attributable to beneficiaries.
    NewsBills
    Providing clarity on taxation in certain circumstances
    Show AI Summary
    Deductible trust expenditure allowed when exemption denied, subject to prescribed conditions and exclusive tax treatment.
    Proposed amendments allow deduction of revenue (non capital) expenditure for the objects of a trust or institution when exemption is denied for specified non compliances, subject to conditions: expenditure must not be from corpus as at the last day of the preceding financial year, not from any loan or borrowing, not involve depreciation for an asset whose acquisition was treated as application of income earlier, and not be a contribution or donation. Section 40 and 40A provisions apply mutatis mutandis to determine such expenditure, and no other deduction, allowance or set off shall be permitted for that expenditure.

    The provisions of section 115TD to apply to any trust or institution under the first regime.
    Show AI Summary
    Exit tax on trusts extended to first regime entities, covering conversions, mergers and asset transfers under the amended provisions.
    The Finance Bill proposes to extend Chapter XII-EB's exit tax provisions to trusts and institutions under the first regime by making Sections 115TD, 115TE and 115TF applicable to them, thereby subjecting conversions to non charitable status, mergers with non charitable or dissimilar charitable entities, and failures to transfer assets to a levy on accreted income; the amendment is effective from the commencement of the specified fiscal year and applies to subsequent assessment years.

    Bringing consistency in the provisions relating to payment to specified person
    Show AI Summary
    Payment to specified person: income applied for their benefit deemed their income, anti benefit rules extended to first regime trusts.
    A proviso to clause (23C) of section 10 deems any income or property of a first regime trust applied for the benefit of a person in section 13(3) to be that person's income in the year of application; sections 13(2), (4) and (6) are made applicable to first regime trusts, aligning anti benefit and attribution rules across regimes.
    NewsBills
    Bringing consistency in the provisions of two exemption the regimes
    Show AI Summary
    Accumulation provisions alignment: consistent tax treatment for accumulated charitable income with prescribed conditions and deemed income triggers.
    The measure harmonises accumulation rules between the two exemption regimes by requiring a prescribed statement to the Assessing Officer, investment or deposit of accumulated funds in specified modes, and timely filing; it provides that accumulated income meeting these conditions is excluded from total income but will be deemed income of the last previous year of the accumulation period if misapplied, ceases to be invested as required, is not utilised within the stated period, or is credited or paid to another exempt trust or institution.

    Cancellation of charitable registration: Principal Commissioner empowered to inquire and cancel approvals within a prescribed decision period.
    Amendments empower the Principal Commissioner or Commissioner to call for documents, inquire into and, after hearing, cancel or refuse to cancel registrations or approvals of trusts, institutions and similar entities on finding one or more specified violations (including misuse of income, non incidental business income without separate books, non genuine activities, preferential religious benefit, or final non compliance with other laws). Orders must be forwarded to the Assessing Officer and the entity, and a six month statutory deadline governs decision making from the quarter end in which the first notice is issued.

    Penalty for passing on unreasonable benefits to trustee or specified persons
    Show AI Summary
    Penalty for passing on unreasonable benefits: trusts face penalties equal to the benefit for first offences and greater penalties for repeat breaches.
    The proposal inserts section 271AAE to penalise trusts or institutions that apply income for the benefit of trustees or specified persons: the Assessing Officer may impose a penalty equal to the aggregate amount so applied where the violation is first detected in a previous year, and a higher penalty where the violation is detected again in a subsequent previous year; this penalty is in addition to any other penalties under Chapter XXI and the amendments take effect for the relevant assessment year following enactment.
    NewsBills
    Amendment in the provisions of section 179 of the Act

    Liability of directors of private company clarified as joint responsibility for tax, fees, interest and penalties if company recovery fails.
    Amendment renames the section title to Liability of directors of private company to reflect that directors are jointly and severally liable where tax cannot be recovered from the company, clarifies that this liability is not conditional on liquidation, and expands the Explanation so that the expression "tax due" expressly includes fees alongside penalty, interest and other sums payable.

      SCHEDULE XVI - PERMITTED MODES OF INVESTMENT OR DEPOSITS

      Income-tax Act, 2025

      At a Glance

      The provided documents are two versions of SCHEDULE-XVI (Permitted Modes of Investment or Deposits) related to section 350 of the Income-tax legislation as presented in (a) "SCHEDULE-XVI of Income-tax Act, 2025" (Document 1) and (b) "SCHEDULE-XVI of Income Tax Bill, 2025 - Old Version" (Document 2). Both list permissible investment/deposit modes for registered non-profit / charitable or religious trusts or institutions. The differences between the two texts are principally editorial and ordering/wording differences and a few numbering/clauses variations; they do not indicate new substantive modes in the Old Version beyond those in the Act version provided. Affected parties: charitable/religious trusts, registered non-profit organisations, tax administrators and financial intermediaries. Effective date or decision date: Not stated in the document.

      Background & Scope

      Statutory hooks: See section 350 (referenced) and the schedule title SCHEDULE XVI. The schedule specifies the "modes of investing or depositing the money referred to in section 350" and therefore regulates the forms in which corpus or funds of charitable/religious trusts and institutions (or registered non-profit organisations) may be maintained to retain tax benefits or compliance with section 350. The schedule enumerates specific permitted instruments, investments, deposits and certain transitional and historical exceptions. Definitions are provided within the schedule (see paragraph providing definitions such as "long-term finance", "public company", "urban infrastructure", "Immovable property", "incubatee", "incubator").

      Statutory Provision Mode

      Text & Scope

      The schedule enumerates discrete permitted modes of investment/deposit for monies u/s 350. Coverage: central government small savings instruments (savings certificates, small savings schemes), Post Office Savings Bank, scheduled banks and cooperative banks, Unit Trust of India units, securities issued by Central/State Governments, government-guaranteed debentures, investments/deposits with public sector companies (with transitional deeming rules if company ceases to be a public sector company), bonds issued by specified financial corporations or public companies engaged in long-term housing/urban infrastructure finance, immovable property, IDBI deposits, units of specified mutual funds (Schedule VII entries), transfers to Public Account of India, deposits with housing/urban development authorities, equity shares of depositories, specified investments by recognised stock exchanges, investments by payment system entities in specified companies, incubator/incubatee investments, shares of National Skill Development Corporation, debt instruments of RBI-registered infrastructure finance companies, Sovereign Gold Bonds ("Stock Certificate" definition reference), units of Powergrid Infrastructure Investment Trust, shares in a public sector company, historical corpus exceptions (assets forming corpus as at specified historical dates), accretions by bonus shares, debentures acquired before specified historical dates, voluntary contributions maintained as specified tangible assets, short-term holding exception for non-specified assets, and funds representing business profits under specified conditions.

      Interpretation

      The schedule is primarily a closed list of permissible forms; interpretive principle implied: only these listed forms (and those falling within the enumerated transitional/historical carve-outs) qualify as compliant with section 350 requirements. The definitions provided constrain certain terms (for example, "long-term finance" defined by a five-year minimum repayment term, "Immovable property" excluding most machinery/plant). Legislative intent as indicated by the text: to allow a mix of conservative, government-backed, regulated financial instruments and specified sectoral investments while controlling diversion into unregulated assets; to preserve historical corpus exceptions; and to permit certain strategic sectoral investments (e.g., incubators, digital payments infrastructure, infrastructure finance).

      Exceptions/Provisos

      The schedule includes multiple temporal and condition-based exceptions: (a) investments in public sector company shares remain covered for three years after the company ceases to be a public sector company; (b) other deposit/investment in such company remains covered until repayable; (c) assets not specified in clauses (1)-(30) are permitted only if not held beyond one year from the end of the tax year in which acquired (Document 1 wording differs slightly-see differences table); (d) corpus preservation exceptions for assets held on 1 June 1973 and 1 June 1998; (e) certain assets acquired before 1 March 1983; (f) business profits may be retained only if separate books are maintained where other income exists.

      Illustrations

      • Example 1: A registered non-profit purchases Central Government savings certificates and deposits surplus funds in a scheduled bank: these are permitted under clauses (1) and (3).
      • Example 2: A trust acquires equity shares of a public sector company that later becomes disinvested and ceases to qualify as a public sector company; the trust's shareholding is deemed to remain a permitted investment for three years from the date of change (clause (7)(a)).
      • Example 3: A charitable institution receives a painting as a voluntary contribution and maintains it as part of corpus pending a Board notification: clause (30)/(32) allows voluntary contributions maintained in forms such as furniture or jewellery if specified by Board notification. (Note: reliance on Board notification is required.)

      Interplay

      The schedule cross-references: Government Savings Certificates Act, 1959; Depositories Act, 1996; Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956; Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992; Payment and Settlement Systems Act, 2007; Companies Act, 2013; Industrial Development Bank of India Act, 1964; Schedule VII (mutual fund schemes); Sovereign Gold Bonds Scheme notification G.S.R. 827(E) dated 30 October 2015; and section 32(e) (as corrected). Interaction with these statutes and notifications determines eligibility/qualification of instruments and entities named. Specific practical interpretive issues: Not stated in the document (e.g., guidance on valuation, treatment of hybrid instruments, or applicable timelines for Board notifications).

      Differences between Document 1 (Schedule-XVI of Income-tax Act, 2025) and Document 2 (Schedule-XVI of Income Tax Bill, 2025 - Old Version)

      FeatureDocument 1 (Act)Document 2 (Bill - Old)Practical Impact
      Title/Scope descriptionReads "FORMS OR MODES OF INVESTMENT OR DEPOSITS BY A REGISTERED NON PROFIT ORGANISATION".Reads "FORMS OR MODES OF INVESTMENT OR DEPOSITS BY A CHARITABLE OR RELIGIOUS TRUST OR INSTITUTION".Potential drafting consistency/coverage difference: Act version uses broader term "registered non profit organisation" while Bill refers to "charitable or religious trust or institution". Practical effect depends on statutory definition of "registered non profit organisation" vs. "charitable or religious trust or institution" elsewhere - Not stated in the document.
      Numbering and orderingLists items (1)-(32) with definitions at paragraph 2 (a)-(f).Lists items (1)-(32) then includes clause (33) as the definitions block; textual wording slightly varies (e.g., references to "herein referred to" vs "hereafter referred to").Primarily editorial; no substantive change to listed permissible modes is apparent. Practical impact: negligible on permitted modes; clarity/interpretation possibly affected by drafting differences but core content substantially same.
      Specific clause differences (examples)Includes item (30) "voluntary contributions received and maintained in the form of jewellery, furniture or any other article as the Board may, by notification specify" as clause (30) and item (31) concerning assets not in clauses (1)-(30) held up to one year from end of tax year.Order differs: item (32) in Document 2 is the "voluntary contributions..." clause and item (30) in Document 2 refers to assets not being investments held after expiry of one year from end of tax year. Also Document 2 contains minor textual corrections (notes indicating correction of "section 32 (1)(e)" to "section 32 (e)").These are drafting/numbering and editorial corrections. Practical impact: none substantive, but numbering differences require caution when citing specific sub-paragraph numbers; reference to section 32(e) correction clarifies intended cross-reference.
      Definitions block placement and labellingDefinitions under "2. Interpretation" enumerated (a)-(f).Definitions included at the end as "(33) In this schedule,- (a) ... (f) ..." with slightly different heading style.No substantive difference in definitions themselves. Practical impact limited to citation conventions within drafting-users must ensure referencing correct clause numbering for each version.
      Minor wording variantsUses phrasing such as "herein referred to as investor" and "herein referred to as investee".Uses "hereafter referred to as investor" and "hereafter referred to as investee"; contains textual spacing and punctuation variations and an explicit errata note about corrections.Editorial only. Practical impact: none on legal substance, but the errata notes in Document 2 improve textual accuracy.

      Practical Implications

      • Compliance and risk areas: Trustees and non-profit administrators must ensure corpus monies are invested only in the enumerated modes or within the short-term holding exception; reliance on non-specified investments beyond the one-year grace risks non-compliance with section 350 conditions. Not stated in the document: procedural sanctions or consequences for non-compliance.
      • Record-keeping/evidence: The text implies need for records evidencing nature of instruments (e.g., government certificates, bank deposits, share certificates, notifications of permitted Board-specified tangible assets), dates of acquisition to apply short-term holding rule and historical corpus cut-off dates, and documentation of separate books of accounts where business profits and other income co-exist.

      Key Takeaways

      • SCHEDULE-XVI provides a closed/enumerated list of permitted investment/deposit modes for monies u/s 350, privileging government-backed and regulated instruments and certain sectoral investments.
      • Both documents substantially list the same modes; differences are largely editorial, numbering and minor wording variations, and a title wording variance (registered non-profit organisation vs. charitable or religious trust/institution).
      • Transitional exceptions (public sector company treatment, historical corpus dates, pre-1983 debentures) preserve earlier holdings and prevent retrospective disallowance of legacy corpus assets.
      • Short-term holding exception permits non-specified assets to be held only up to one year from the end of the tax year in which acquired (wording differs slightly between versions; practitioners should confirm the authoritative version before citation).
      • Definitions such as "long-term finance" (five-year minimum) and "Immovable property" (excluding most machinery/plant) narrow the scope of qualifying instruments.
      • Practical compliance requires careful record-keeping, attention to cross-references (e.g., section 32(e), statutory definitions), and monitoring of statutory/Board notifications referenced for certain asset categories.
      • Errata in the Bill (corrections from "section 32(1)(e)" to "section 32(e)") and minor drafting differences mean practitioners should use the enacted/official Gazette text for authoritative citation.
