AMENDMENTS IN THE CUSTOMS ACT 1962
Show AI Summary
Preferential tariff verification: suspension of duty concessions pending exporter verification and security requirement for import clearance.
New Chapter VAA (section 28DA) creates a framework for preferential tariff treatment under trade agreements, imposes importer obligations and requires time bound verification from the exporting country; preferential treatment may be suspended pending verification with clearance only on furnishing security equal to the differential duty, and may be denied in certain cases. Section 51B establishes an Electronic Duty Credit Ledger for duty credits in lieu of remission and extends recovery provisions to such credits. Amendments also add confiscation liability for contraventions of preferential claims and empower rulemaking under sections 156 and 157; an explanation preserves pre 2018 notices under section 28.

Cost of acquisition for segregated portfolio units: holding period continuity and proportional NAV-based allocation determine tax basis.
Units in a segregated portfolio inherit the holding period of the original units in the main portfolio, and the cost of acquisition of segregated portfolio units is the portion of the original cost proportionate to the ratio of the NAV of assets transferred to the segregated portfolio to the NAV of the total portfolio immediately before segregation; the cost of the original units in the main portfolio is deemed reduced by that allocated amount.

News Bills
Amendment of sub-section (7) of section 11 to allow entities holding registration under section 12A/...
Show AI Summary
Exemption switching for registered charitable entities allowed once to obtain statutory notification, preserving single-mode compliance and admin efficiency.
Amendment permits registered charitable entities to seek notification under the statutory exemption for bodies created by Central or State enactment, correcting an anomaly that denied such notification to entities holding registration. It retains the complete-code principle requiring compliance with registration conditions, but allows a one-time switch to the notified exemption while ensuring only one mode of exemption is operative and limiting routine switching for administrative efficiency.

Show AI Summary
Taxation of dividends shifts to shareholders, abolishing payer-level tax and imposing withholding and limited deductions under transitional rules.
Removal of Dividend Distribution Tax and return to a classical system makes dividend and income from units taxable in the hands of shareholders and unit holders at their applicable rates, removes payer-level additional tax and related exemptions, limits deductions against such income to interest expense capped at twenty per cent, reallocates taxability for business trusts and interposed vehicles to unit holders, and introduces expanded withholding obligations and transitional rules phasing out payer-level taxation.

Show AI Summary
Significant Economic Presence deferred while source rules target India-directed digital ad and data revenue for taxation.
The proposal defers the Significant Economic Presence concept until 1 April 2022 (applicable AY 2022-23), pending threshold rules; clarifies that India-sourced income includes advertising targeted at Indian customers and sale of India-collected data (effective 1 April 2021), aligns the indirect transfer exception for investments by foreign portfolio investors with SEBI's revised FPI regulations (effective 1 April 2020), expands the definition of royalty to include receipts from sale/distribution/exhibition of cinematographic films (effective 1 April 2021), and empowers the Board to prescribe income attribution rules under section 295 with staggered effective dates.

Show AI Summary
Treaty anti abuse preamble aligns DTAA purpose with MLI to prevent treaty shopping via statutory amendment.
The proposal amends the statutory power to enter into DTAAs so that agreements for the avoidance of double taxation must be made without creating opportunities for non taxation or reduced taxation through tax evasion or avoidance, including treaty shopping arrangements aimed at indirect benefit of residents of other jurisdictions, thereby implementing the MLI's anti abuse preamble into domestic treaty making authority.

Penalty for fake invoice.
Show AI Summary
Penalty for false invoices: levy equals aggregate false or omitted entries and also targets those who cause them.
A new provision proposes a penalty for false entries under GST where penalty equals the aggregate amount of false or omitted entries used to evade tax; liability extends to persons who cause such entries. "False entries" include forged or falsified documents, invoices without actual supply or receipt of goods or services, and invoices involving non existent persons. The amendment is intended to deter fraudulent ITC claims and takes effect from the fiscal implementation date in the Finance Bill.

Amending definition of “work” in section 194C of the Act.
Show AI Summary
Contract manufacturing classification: raw materials supplied by assessee or associate treated as work under section 194C, preventing tax avoidance.
Amendment treats contract manufacturing where raw material is provided by the assessee or its associate as work under section 194C, closing a compliance gap exploited by sourcing materials through related parties, and defines "associate" by reference to the relational test in clause (b) of sub section (2) of section 40A.
News Bills
Modification of residency provisions.
Show AI Summary
Tax residency thresholds tightened: visit exemption reduced, not ordinarily resident test tightened and deeming rule for citizens without foreign tax liability.
The proposal reduces the special visit exemption for Indian citizens and persons of Indian origin so shorter periods of presence in India count towards residency; replaces the existing multi-part test for not ordinarily resident status with a single prior non-residence stability test; and deems an Indian citizen who is not liable to tax in any other jurisdiction to be resident in India, aimed at preventing arrangements that result in global non taxation.
News Bills

Show AI Summary
E-penalty scheme to digitalise penalty proceedings, remove in-person AO interface and enable dynamic jurisdiction in penalty imposition.
A proposed amendment would insert a sub-section empowering the Central Government to notify an e-penalty scheme to digitalise penalty proceedings, remove in-person interface between Assessing Officers and assessees insofar as technologically feasible, optimise resources by centralised speciality, and provide for penalties to be imposed under a dynamic jurisdiction model by one or more income-tax authorities; the Government may notify exceptions or adaptations to existing jurisdictional and procedural provisions and must lay notifications before Parliament.
