    GST enforcement: summons/searches are investigative; show cause notices mark formal proceedings and define subject matter.
    Issuance of summons, searches and seizures are investigative steps and do not constitute initiation of proceedings; formal adjudicatory commencement is principally the issuance of a show cause notice which defines the subject matter. The subject matter is determined from the show cause notice, and a twofold test-identity of liability on the same facts and identity or overlap of relief sought-governs whether two proceedings are the same. Cross-empowerment permits intelligence-based action by either authority, but parallel adjudications on identical subject matter are barred; authorities must coordinate and share information.

    GST: consolidated SCNs valid for connected-period fraud, cross-examination limited unless prejudice shown.
    The adjudicating authority must consider representations and hearings under section 74(9), but the right to cross-examination in SCN proceedings is not absolute and requires demonstrable prejudice to vitiate adjudication. Sections 73 and 74 allow consolidated SCNs across periods when connected fraudulent invoice chains exist. Orders must remain within the grounds and amounts specified in the SCN, and writ jurisdiction should be declined where an efficacious statutory appeal under section 107 is available absent exceptional circumstances.

    Schedule XV lists payments that qualify for deduction under section 123-notably life insurance premia subject to quantitative ceilings by policy issue date and disability status, specified provident/pension/superannuation contributions, notified securities and mutual fund units, certain term deposits and housing finance repayments-and sets withdrawal and recapture rules whereby surrender, premature transfer, early withdrawal or sale within holding periods causes previously allowed deductions to be treated as income; definitions and eligibility depend on cross-references and delegated notifications.

    Schedule XI conditions tax-favourable treatment of recognised provident, superannuation and gratuity funds on structural and operational criteria (trust form, vesting, non-revocability, employee coverage, permitted assets and payment rules); recognition/approval is discretionary and revocable; failures attract inclusion of accumulated balances or contributions in employee income and procedural obligations such as TDS; trustees face record-keeping, reporting and potential liability, while the Board may make rules subject to statutory limits and section 534 oversight.

    Schedule V excludes specified income from total income for defined eligible persons-investment funds, business trusts (including REITs/InvITs), venture capital vehicles and certain foreign public investors-operating as a negative list subject to conditions and Notes. Exclusions include non business dividend and interest for investment funds, SPV interest/dividend exemptions for business trusts, REIT rental income exclusions for directly owned assets, and a layered specified person exemption with holding period, investment type, proportional computation, carve outs and clawback rules; implementation relies on cross references to SEBI/RBI/IFSC rules and Board guidelines.

    Non resident exemptions conditioned on residency, limited presence and Central Government notification restrict exclusions from taxable income.
    Schedule IV excludes specified receipts from total income of defined non residents and foreign companies where each listed entry identifies the income class, eligible person and conditions for exclusion. Exclusions depend on factual predicates-residency under foreign exchange rules, limited period of presence, absence of employer taxable presence in India, RBI permissions for NR(E) accounts-and on Central Government notification or approved agreements. Key categories include NR(E) account interest, diplomatic remuneration, short term foreign employee remuneration, specified royalties/fees, Offshore Banking Unit deposits, intra group cruise lease rentals, regional community investments and notified crude oil arrangements.

    Life insurance exemption tightened by period, premium ratio and aggregate premium tests, altering tax treatment of policy and IFSC receipts.
    Schedule II excludes specified classes of income from total income while imposing conditional tests on life insurance and retirement/savings receipts. Life insurance exclusions depend on policy issue periods, premium to sum assured ratios, aggregate premium ceilings and express ineligibility for certain receipts. Provident fund interest attributable to large post cut off contributions is excluded from exemption with the non excluded portion to be computed as prescribed. The Schedule adds an equalisation levy exclusion interacting with treaty notifications and treats IFSC issued policies differently under a targeted aggregate premium carve out.

    Savings on repeal preserve procedural and substantive continuity for matters tied to earlier tax years under the repealed regime.
    The repeal provision preserves continuation of rights, obligations and proceedings relating to tax years beginning before the statutory cut-off by deeming prior actions, elections, penalties, refunds, recovery, carry-forwards of losses, credits and depreciation to remain effective and by allowing pending and certain later-initiated proceedings to be conducted under the repealed procedural rules; it invokes the General Clauses Act for repeal effect and specifies fallback mechanics for schemes where no corresponding provision exists in the new Act.

    Presumption of ownership and authenticity expands to electronic records, increasing evidentiary weight in tax proceedings.
    The provision establishes rebuttable presumptions in proceedings under the Income tax enactment that items found in a search or survey-or delivered to a requisitioning officer-belong to the person in whose possession or control they are found and that books, documents, signatures and executions are true/authentic; the enacted text expressly extends those presumptions to electronic information and computer systems and adds a specific presumption that recorded electronic exchanges are exchanged between the purported parties.

    Authorised representative rules limit who may represent taxpayers, set disqualification grounds, and preserve appeal rights.
    The provision permits an assessee to attend proceedings before income tax authorities and the Appellate Tribunal through an authorised representative drawn from an enumerated list, subject to written authorisation and exclusions; personal attendance is required where examination on oath or affirmation is mandated. The definition of authorised representative and of "accountant" contains specific exceptions to prevent conflicts of interest, while disqualification rules-based on dismissal from service, insolvency, specified convictions or prior penalties-apply with procedural safeguards including opportunity to be heard and a one month appeal to the Board. Several qualifications and categories are to be determined by subordinate prescription, and transitional cross references to prior statutes determine legacy practitioner recognition.

    Country-by-country reporting requires Indian resident entities to notify authorities and file consolidated international group reports.
    Section 511 establishes a country by country reporting regime requiring Indian resident constituent entities with non resident parents to notify the prescribed income tax authority regarding designation as an alternate reporting entity and to provide parent/alternate details, while Indian resident parent or alternate reporting entities must furnish consolidated reports in the prescribed form and manner; fallback filing applies where foreign jurisdictions do not file or exchange reports or where a systemic failure is intimated, and exemptions apply if consolidated group revenue falls below a prescribed threshold.
