    Anonymous donations taxation: broader scope and threshold rule increase compliance and record-keeping obligations for non-profits.
    Clause 337 targets anonymous donations to registered non-profit organisations (excluding entities wholly for religious purposes) by taxing the amount of anonymous donations exceeding the higher of a specified absolute sum or a percentage of such donations in the tax year, with contemporaneous recognition of receipts. The clause broadens applicability beyond the prior enumerated institutions, omits a specified tax rate, and lacks detailed definitions and compliance mechanics, creating interpretive and administrative uncertainties for mixed purpose organisations and cross border receipts.

    Special taxation of non-resident sports and entertainment income: flat-rate treatment with no deductions and TDS-driven compliance.
    A flat-rate regime taxes specified India-sourced receipts of non-resident sportsmen, sports associations, and entertainers-covering participation, performances, advertisements and article contributions-with such receipts treated as ring-fenced special income taxed separately from other income; deductions are expressly disallowed for computing that special income, and proper withholding at source can exempt a taxpayer from domestic return-filing when that is the taxpayer's sole Indian income.

    Tax on gambling winnings: flat gross tax with no deductions, and online gaming treated separately.
    Clause 194 (Table S. No. 1) taxes winnings from lotteries, crossword puzzles, races (excluding income from owning or maintaining race horses), card games and other gambling at a flat rate on gross receipts with no deductions or set-off; tax is computed in two steps-tax on such winnings and tax on the balance of income as if winnings were excluded-and winnings from online games are expressly excluded and dealt with separately.

    Concessional tax regime for new manufacturing co-operative societies offers reduced tax for qualifying manufacturing income.
    A concessional tax regime grants newly formed manufacturing co-operative societies an optional, irrevocable reduced tax treatment for qualifying manufacturing income, contingent on formation and commencement within prescribed windows, exercise of the option in the prescribed manner, and compliance with anti abuse conditions. Qualifying income is computed without specified deductions or set offs, certain non manufacturing income and specified gains are taxed at higher rates, and failure to satisfy conditions withdraws the regime for the relevant and subsequent years.

    Concessional tax regime for resident cooperative societies: elective simplified computation in exchange for forgoing specified deductions.
    Clause 203 establishes an elective concessional tax regime for resident cooperative societies permitting computation of total income without specified deductions and without set-off of losses or depreciation attributable to those disallowed deductions; the option is exercised in the prescribed manner within the return-filing timeframe, is irrevocable, and failure to meet conditions renders the option invalid for that and subsequent years, while losses and depreciation not allowed are deemed finally given effect. An IFSC carve-out permits designated deductions for IFSC units subject to conditions.

    New tax regime narrows exemptions and denies related loss carry-forwards, requiring strict opt-in procedures and electronic compliance.
    Clause 202 creates a consolidated new tax regime for individuals, HUFs, AOPs, BOIs and certain artificial juridical persons pairing a graded slab structure with the denial of most specified exemptions, deductions and loss set-offs. Total income is computed without the benefit of listed deductions and without carry-forward or set-off of losses and depreciation attributable to those disallowed items. The clause prescribes an option procedure with strict withdrawal and re-entry limits for business/professional assessees and contemplates procedural electronic filing requirements and an IFSC carve-out.

    Concessional tax regime for new manufacturing companies limits exemptions and binds firms to an irrevocable option for preferential taxation.
    Concessional tax regime for new manufacturing domestic companies grants a lower corporate rate to qualifying manufacturers while disallowing most exemptions and deductions. The regime requires an irrevocable option, exercised in the prescribed manner by the due date for the first return; failure to meet conditions causes permanent loss of eligibility. Income computation is exemption free, with no carry forward for losses or depreciation attributable to disallowed deductions. Benefits can continue on amalgamation if conditions are met. Procedural and definitional details are expected to be specified in subordinate rules.

    Optional concessional corporate tax regime requires companies to forgo specified deductions and accept irrevocable tax treatment.
    Optional concessional corporate tax regime requires domestic companies to compute taxable income without specified deductions and to forgo set-off or carry forward of losses or depreciation attributable to those disallowed items, treating such losses and depreciation as having been given full effect; the option must be exercised in the prescribed manner by the filing due date, is irrevocable and applies to subsequent tax years, with modified treatment for IFSC units and procedural details to be provided by subordinate rules.

    Concessional tax regime for manufacturing companies requires irrevocable option and prohibits set off of attributable losses.
    Clause 199 creates a concessional tax regime for qualifying domestic manufacturing companies, available at the taxpayer's option, conditioned on exclusive engagement in manufacturing related activities and computed without specified deductions. It precludes set off of losses attributable to those disallowed deductions by deeming such losses to have been fully given effect to. The option must be exercised in the prescribed manner by the due date for the first return and, once exercised, is irrevocable for subsequent years except where a statutory switch is permitted, thereby trading lower tax rates for forfeiture of targeted incentives and necessitating clear procedural compliance.

    Taxation of special incomes: consolidated flat-rate regime covering life insurance profits and emerging digital income streams.
    Clause 194 creates a consolidated flat-tax framework for specified special incomes-winnings, patent royalties, carbon credits, VDAs, online game winnings, and life insurance profits-providing category-specific rates, comprehensive definitions, and an overriding application. For life insurance business it preserves a concessional 12.5% flat tax and the aggregate computation method but omits the prior temporary deposit requirement and lacks detailed computation rules, potentially causing interpretive issues on measuring ''profits and gains.'' Clause 194 modernises taxation of emerging income streams while centralising special-income treatment under one provision.

    Taxation of foreign portfolio investment: concessional rates tied to strict attribution and compliance requirements.
    Clause 210 creates a consolidated tax framework for FIIs and specified funds on securities income and capital gains, setting concessional rates by income category and conditioning those rates on prescribed attribution to non resident unit holders (excluding permanent establishments). It restricts specified deductions where income consists solely of securities receipts, disapplies certain loss set off provisions for securities gains, and anticipates rule based mechanisms for daily AUM attribution and digital filing requirements, aligning and refining the policy and operational features previously governed by Section 115AD and Rules 21AJ/21AJAA.

    Taxation of GDR income: concessional treatment for ESOP dividends and capital gains with notification based eligibility.
    Clause 193 of the Income Tax Bill, 2025 continues the concessional tax regime for dividends and long term capital gains on Global Depository Receipts acquired in foreign currency by resident employees under government notified ESOPs, limits deductions where gross total income consists solely of such GDR income, updates statutory cross references and definitions to current corporate law and IFSCs, and excludes certain computation benefits for GDR capital gains while preserving the notification requirement to restrict eligibility to approved schemes.

    Concessional tax regime for non resident bond and GDR income ensures specified rates, filing exemptions, and notification based eligibility.
    Clause 209 creates a concessional tax regime for non resident income from specified bonds and GDRs purchased in foreign currency, requiring purchase through an approved intermediary for GDRs under government notified schemes; it prescribes specific tax rates for interest, dividends and long term capital gains, restricts deductions where specified income is sole income, ring fences capital gains by disallowing set off provisions for computation, exempts non residents from return filing when TDS is applied, and preserves treatment on amalgamation or demerger.

    Taxation of offshore fund income: concessional rates for unit income and segregated treatment to prevent double deductions.
    Clause 208 establishes a special tax regime for overseas financial organisations investing in units purchased in foreign currency: concessional rates apply to income from such units and to long term capital gains, other income is taxed at normal rates with aggregation across heads, deductions are disallowed where gross total income consists solely of such concessional income while in mixed income cases concessional income must be segregated and deductions allowed only against the non concessional portion, and eligibility requires specified investment arrangements with prescribed Indian institutions plus SEBI approval with ''unit'' defined by cross reference to the schedule or UTI.

    Tax on provident fund accumulations: retrospective, year wise recalculation imposed when exemption conditions fail and tax withheld at payment.
    Clause 191 charges tax on an accumulated balance of a recognised provident fund when schedule exemption conditions are unmet, directing the Assessing Officer to perform a retrospective, year wise calculation of the notional tax that would have applied had the fund not been recognised and to charge the excess over tax actually paid in the year of payment, with trustees required to withhold tax at source on the taxable portion.

    Tax rates for non residents clarified: consolidated withholding regime, gross basis taxation, and filing exemptions streamlined.
    Clause 207 consolidates tax treatment of specified Indian source incomes of non residents and foreign companies by prescribing rates for dividends, interest, royalties and fees for technical services, preserving concessional rates for IFSC incomes and infrastructure debt funds, and treating residual income at normal rates. It mandates gross basis taxation by denying deductions under specified sections, excludes specified incomes from deduction computations under Chapter VIII (with an IFSC exception), streamlines approval requirements for royalties and FTS, and exempts non residents from return filing where such incomes alone are subject to prescribed withholding tax.

    Block assessment tax imposes a flat punitive rate on total income from search-derived block periods, broadening the tax base.
    Clause 192 taxes the total income of the block period as determined under section 294, replacing the narrower concept of "undisclosed income," and prescribes a flat 60% tax rate with applicable surcharge, thereby broadening the tax base for block assessments while aiming to simplify rate and surcharge determinations.

    Long-term capital gains taxation recalibrated to a higher concessional rate with STT linkage and IFSC carve-outs.
    Clause 198 establishes a revised LTCG regime for transfers of equity shares, equity oriented fund units, and business trust units where STT conditions are met, prescribing a codified concessional tax on specified LTCG with an IFSC exemption for foreign currency trades; it preserves marginal relief for resident individuals and HUFs, restricts the order of applying deductions and rebates against LTCG, defines equity oriented fund investment thresholds and averaging rules, and grants government power to notify exceptions to STT requirements.

    Long term capital gains taxation reformed: uniform lower rate, limited indexation grandfathering, and exemption limit relief retained.
    Clause 197 restructures long term capital gains taxation by imposing a uniform flat rate for most LTCG, removing indexation except for formulaic transitional relief for land and buildings acquired before the specified cut off, preserving basic exemption relief for resident individuals and HUFs by reducing LTCG by any shortfall in other income, excluding certain equity related instruments from its scope, and requiring deductions to be computed on gross total income excluding LTCG.

    Short-term capital gains tax regime tightened: higher flat rate for STT-eligible securities alters investor incentives and compliance obligations.
    Clause 196 targets short term capital gains from equity shares, equity oriented fund units and business trust units that are chargeable to STT, imposing a flat tax on such gains while preserving normal taxation of remaining income. It limits concessional treatment to exchange based STT transactions, provides relief by reducing eligible STCG where other income falls below the basic exemption, excludes IFSC foreign currency transactions, and allows Chapter VIII deductions only after reducing gross total income by the specified STCG.
