    Tax-neutral relocation: inclusion of retail schemes and ETFs in IFSC resultant fund definition enables tax-neutral transfers for investors.
    The amendment adds retail schemes and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) established and regulated in the IFSC to the definition of resultant fund, so that transfers by investors of shares, units or interests in an original fund in exchange for interests in such IFSC funds are not treated as transfers for capital gains purposes, preserving the tax-neutral nature of relocations into IFSC funds.

    Presumptive taxation for non-resident service providers to electronics manufacturing facilities creates a deemed profit basis, reducing effective tax.
    A presumptive taxation regime under proposed section 44BBD deems a fixed proportion of aggregate amounts received/receivable or paid/payable to non-residents for providing services or technology to resident companies establishing or operating electronics manufacturing or connected facilities under a Central Government notified scheme as profits and gains, simplifying tax treatment and lowering the effective tax on gross receipts, subject to prescribed conditions and rules.

    Charitable trust tax exemption requires registration and compliance with application, approval and cancellation procedures under the law.
    Income of a trust or institution is exempt only if it meets statutory conditions and maintains registration; one provision governs the application procedure to obtain registration to claim exemption, another governs approval and cancellation of registration, and a separate provision disqualifies exemption where specified conditions are not satisfied.

    Specified violation classification: incomplete registration applications excluded from grounds for cancellation under section 12AB, limiting tax exposure.
    The Finance Bill amends the Explanation to sub section (4) of section 12AB to provide that situations in which the application for registration of a trust or institution is not complete shall not be treated as a specified violation for purposes of cancellation of registration, thereby excluding mere incompleteness of the registration application from grounds that could trigger cancellation and consequent taxability under Chapter XII EB.

    Registration period for smaller trusts extended to reduce compliance where income and application criteria are met.
    The period of registration for trusts or institutions that apply under the specified application categories of section 12A(1)(ac) will be extended from five years to ten years where the total income, before applying sections 11 and 12, does not exceed the stated income threshold in each of the two preceding years; the change aims to reduce compliance for smaller trusts and will take effect from 1 April 2025.

    Substantial contribution threshold revised, narrowing specified persons and excluding relatives and related concerns from applicability.

    Taxation of business trusts clarified: long-term capital gains treatment for units preserved alongside maximum marginal rate application.
    The Finance Bill amends the taxation of business trusts to clarify that a business trust's total income remains taxable at the maximum marginal rate but subject to the long-term capital gains provision applicable to units of a business trust, thereby preserving pass-through taxation of interest, dividend and rental income in the hands of unit holders and explicitly aligning capital gains treatment with the special regime for REITs and InVITs.

    Significant economic presence exclusion clarified: purchases in India solely for export do not create business connection and are excluded.
    Amendment clarifies that transactions confined to the purchase of goods in India for export by a non resident shall not constitute Significant Economic Presence and therefore shall not constitute a Business Connection in India under section 9, aligning Explanation 2A with the exclusion in Explanation 1 and preserving the non taxable character of purchase for export operations.

    Capital treatment of ULIP redemptions clarified: ULIPs without insurance exemption taxed as capital gains and treated as capital assets.
    The proposal treats Unit Linked Insurance Policies for which the insurance-exemption does not apply as capital assets, mandates that profits on their redemption be taxed as capital gains, and includes those ULIPs within the definition of equity oriented funds for preferential capital-gains treatment; the measure responds to an existing premium-based exemption threshold and distinguishes non-ULIP life policy proceeds taxed as income from other sources where exemption is inapplicable.

    Capital asset classification: securities held by specified investment funds treated as capital assets, producing capital gains treatment.

    Start-up tax deduction extended, expanding eligibility for newly incorporated start-ups to a later cutoff while retaining certification conditions.

    Rationalization of Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) rates is proposed in the Union Budget 2025 26 and Finance Bill, 2025, to simplify multiple TDS rates and raise threshold limits for applicability, with the aim of reducing fragmentation, lowering compliance burdens, and promoting ease of doing business.

    The Finance Bill reduces TDS under section 194LBC on income paid by securitisation trusts to resident investors from the earlier rates of 25% (individuals/HUF) and 30% (others) to a uniform 10%, on the basis that the sector is sufficiently organised and regulated; the amendment takes effect from 1 April 2025 as Clause 63 of the Bill.

    TDS threshold rationalization raises and standardizes withholding triggers, reducing routine tax deductions on smaller payments.
    The proposal titled TDS threshold rationalization raises and standardizes the monetary thresholds that trigger tax deduction at source for multiple categories-interest (including securities), dividends to individuals, mutual fund/unit incomes, various winnings, insurance commission, lottery-related income, brokerage and commission, professional and technical fees, rent, and enhanced compensation-altering per-transaction and annual benchmarks and distinguishing treatment by payer type and payment mode for withholding obligations.

    TDS on interest on securities: threshold increased to reduce small-value deductions and limit routine withholding.
    Section 193 requires deduction of tax on interest on securities at time of credit or payment to a resident. The Finance Bill, 2025 proposes that tax shall be deducted under this section only when the amount or aggregate amount of interest on securities exceeds a specified monetary threshold during a financial year, and consequentially amends the proviso relating to debenture interest; the amendment takes effect from 1 April 2025.

    Dividend tax withholding: higher exemption threshold for individual shareholders reduces small-payment TDS obligations from next fiscal year.
    Section 194 requires the principal officer of an Indian company, or a company with prescribed arrangements for dividend payments (including preference shares), to deduct tax at source from dividend payments to resident shareholders at the rate provided in the section. The Finance Bill raises the aggregate exemption threshold for individual shareholders under the first proviso so that no tax is required to be deducted on small aggregate dividend payments, with the amendment effective from the start of the next fiscal year.
