Rebate for resident individuals: expanded two-tier relief and tapered withdrawal to avoid abrupt tax cliffs.
Clause 156 creates a two-tier rebate: a general rebate for resident individuals below a base threshold and an enhanced rebate for taxpayers opting into the new tax regime with a higher threshold and larger maximum rebate. The enhanced rebate includes a tapering mechanism for incomes above its threshold and an express cap preventing the rebate from exceeding actual tax liability, with computation rules tied to the new-regime tax rates.

Rebate allowance framework modernisation - rebates applied after tax computation and capped to prevent negative tax liability.
Allowance of rebates is enabled by Clause 155, which permits rebates to be deducted from income-tax computed on total income after tax computation and before other chapter deductions, and caps aggregate rebates so they cannot exceed the tax computed prior to rebates; the substantive conditions and limits are delegated to Section 156.

Taxation of member's share: entity-level tax exempts members, unless the entity is untaxed or taxed below top rate.
Clause 310 establishes that a member's share of income from an AOP/BOI is exempt from tax in the member's hands when the association/body is taxed on that income; if the AOP/BOI is not chargeable to tax the member's share is taxed in the member's hands; and if the AOP/BOI is taxed at the maximum marginal rate the member's share is excluded from his total income, otherwise the member's share is included in his total income.

Deduction for interest on deposits expanded to include senior citizens and time deposits, consolidating small-saver relief.
Clause 153 provides a statutory deduction for interest on deposits to individuals, senior citizens, and HUFs, specifying eligible institutions (banks, cooperative banking societies, and post offices), preserving denial of deductions for interest held by or on behalf of firms, AOPs, or BOIs, and defining time deposits. It consolidates prior disparate provisions by including senior citizens within the same clause with expanded coverage for time deposits, while maintaining the existing deduction treatment for non senior individuals and HUFs.

Deductions in compulsory licence cases are limited to Controller determined royalty; foreign-sourced receipts qualify only to the extent repatriated in convertible foreign exchange within the prescribed period and supported by prescribed certification.

Tax deduction for producer companies enables full relief for profits from member-focused agricultural marketing and processing activities.
A statutory measure grants a 100% deduction on profits and gains of qualifying Producer Companies for income attributable to an identified eligible business-marketing members' agricultural produce, supplying inputs to members, and processing members' produce-subject to turnover limits, inclusion in gross total income, sequencing after other Chapter VI A deductions, and a legislatively imposed sunset period, with transitional company-law references and apportionment issues creating practical and interpretive compliance challenges.

Deduction for co operative societies preserved and modernised, with targeted categories and voting control safeguards for eligibility.
Clause 149 permits deductions for specified categories of income of co operative societies-profits from credit to members, cottage industry, marketing and specified processing of members' agricultural produce, supply of agricultural inputs, collective disposal of members' labour, fishing and allied activities, interest or dividends from investments in other co operatives, and income from letting godowns or warehouses-subject to membership, voting restrictions for certain societies, exclusions for most co operative banks, and computation after specified infrastructure deductions.

Deduction for inter corporate dividends prevents cascading taxation when dividends are onward distributed within the prescribed timeframe.
Clause 148 permits a deduction for dividends received by a domestic company from domestic companies, foreign companies and business trusts, limited to the amount the recipient company actually distributes to its shareholders by the date one month before the due date for filing the return referenced in the Bill; the same amount cannot be deducted in any other tax year. The deduction is conditional on onward distribution and timely compliance, creating documentary and administrative verification obligations and raising clarifications around the definition of dividend, treatment of foreign dividends and business trust distributions.

Tax deductions for IFSC and OBU income provide extended full relief subject to accountant certification and regulatory permission.
Clause 147 provides a consolidated deduction regime for OBUs and IFSC units in SEZs, specifying eligible assessees and qualifying income categories (OBU income, banking activities tied to SEZ undertakings/developers, approved IFSC activities, and transfers of leased aircraft or ships within the stated commencement deadline). It prescribes full deduction for designated consecutive years with an elective window for IFSC units, and conditions the allowance on submitting a prescribed accountant's certification and evidence of regulatory permission or registration.

Deduction for additional employee cost incentivises formal hiring through multi year tax relief subject to reporting and anti abuse conditions.
Clause 146 allows a deduction equal to 30% of additional employee cost for three consecutive tax years where an assessee with business income increases employee numbers and pays emoluments through prescribed modes; claims are disallowed for splitting up, reconstruction, transfer or reorganisation except for revived sick units, and are subject to exclusions based on emolument ceilings, provident fund participation, pension contribution arrangements and minimum tenure thresholds, with the deduction claim contingent on a prescribed accountant's report.

Tax deduction for bio-degradable waste businesses allows full profit exemption for a fixed multi-year period.
Clause 145 provides a deduction for businesses whose profits and gains arise from collecting, processing or treating bio-degradable waste for activities including generating power, producing bio-fertilizers, bio-pesticides or biological agents, producing bio-gas, and making pellets or briquettes for fuel or organic manure. The deduction equals the whole amount of profits and gains from the eligible business and is available for five consecutive tax years beginning with the tax year in which the business commences. Key compliance issues include defining commencement, segregating eligible profits, and clarifying interaction with other incentives.

Tax incentives for North-Eastern undertakings: full profits deduction under new clause replaces prior provision, with revised cross references and limits.
Special tax relief permits a 100% deduction of profits and gains for eligible North Eastern undertakings commencing within the specified window, subject to exclusions for certain goods and activities, anti abuse restrictions on reconstruction or transfer of used machinery, and limits on concurrent deductions and aggregate deduction periods; updated cross references modernize procedural application but may create interpretive ambiguities on commencement date and aggregation scope.

Transitional deduction continuity preserved for eligible housing projects, computed and constrained by prior statutory conditions.
Clause 142 preserves transitional tax relief by incorporating the prior housing-project deduction by reference: assessees who would have been eligible under the repealed provision may claim deductions computed under the prior statute for the tax years that would have been covered, subject to the same substantive conditions-including project approval and completion requirements, unit size and utilization thresholds, separate project accounts, exclusion of works contracts, and the clawback mechanism-while not extending benefits to new projects commenced after repeal.

Grandfathering preserves industrial tax deductions, maintaining prior eligibility and compliance requirements for ongoing transitional claims.
Clause 141 preserves existing deductions for profits and gains of specified industrial undertakings by applying the prior law's eligibility, quantum and duration of deduction as if the repealed provision remained in force. It imports legacy compliance, audit and rule based requirements for ongoing claims, maintains original commencement windows and notification statuses, and prohibits new or extended claims. The clause protects continuity of entitlement while leaving unresolved issues on procedural lapses and treatment of reorganisations.

Start-up tax deduction: eligible start-ups may claim a consecutive-years profits exemption within the first decade, subject to certification and anti-abuse rules.
Clause 140 provides that an eligible start-up deriving profits from an eligible business may claim a full deduction for three consecutive tax years chosen within ten years of incorporation, subject to eligibility limits, certification by an Inter-Ministerial Board, audit and filing requirements, restrictions on formation by splitting or asset transfer, treatment rules for previously used imported machinery and de minimis used-asset transfers, recomputation at market or arm's length value for intra-group transactions, Assessing Officer powers to adjust profits, a bar on double deductions, and a governmental power to notify prospective exclusions of classes of undertakings.

SEZ developer deductions preserved as a transitional protection, applying legacy eligibility and computation rules to ongoing projects.
Clause 139 functions as a transitional savings provision preserving deductions for profits and gains from SEZ development by applying the eligibility, computation, and temporal rules of the repealed provision to developers who commenced projects under that earlier regime, thereby maintaining investor expectations and limiting the relief to unexpired periods without creating new entitlements.

Grandfathering of infrastructure tax deductions allows continuation of prior deduction regime into the new income tax code.
Clause 138 preserves the deduction regime of Section 80-IA as a transitional grandfathering provision: where an assessee's income includes profits from businesses referred to in Section 80-IA and the assessee would have been eligible had the old Act not been repealed, a deduction is allowed computed under Section 80-IA and only for the tax years that would have been available under that section, with all eligibility, computation, anti-abuse, audit and exclusion provisions applying by reference.

Non-cash political contributions incentivised by tax deduction promote traceability and exclude public-funded entities from benefits.
Deductibility is confined to contributions made by non-cash means to political parties registered under the Representation of the People Act or to electoral trusts, with exclusions for local authorities and artificial juridical persons wholly or partly funded by the Government. The rule aims to ensure traceability and transparency by disallowing cash donations, requires contemporaneous treatment within the tax year, and imposes documentary and payment-channel compliance obligations on donors and recipients, while leaving certain interpretative points-such as the definition of artificial juridical person and acceptable modern payment modes-open to clarification.
