    Survey approval requirements: amended hierarchy now mandates higher-level approval before conducting surveys under section 133A.
    Amendment introduces a tiered prior-approval regime for exercise of survey powers: where information is received from a prescribed authority, lower-ranked officers require prior approval from the intermediate supervisory tier; in other cases, officers below the senior administrative tier require prior approval from that senior tier. The change raises the approval threshold in non-prescribed-authority cases and takes effect from the stated effective date.

    E-appeal scheme to enable faceless electronic appellate proceedings and permit government to modify appellate procedure.
    A proposed insertion to section 250 empowers the Central Government to notify an e-appeal scheme to enable electronic disposal of appeals, eliminate in-person interface between Commissioner (Appeals) and appellants to the extent technologically feasible, optimise resource use through economies of scale and functional specialisation, and introduce an appellate system with dynamic jurisdiction. The power includes directing, by notification, that statutory provisions on jurisdiction and appellate procedure may not apply or may apply with specified exceptions, modifications and adaptations, and requires such notifications to be laid before both Houses of Parliament.

    Commodity Transaction Tax expansion: new tax coverage for options in goods and derivatives tied to other derivatives.
    Amendments expand the scope of Commodity Transaction Tax (CTT) to include sales of derivatives based on prices or indices of commodity derivatives and sales of an option in goods, and replace "recognised association" with "recognised stock exchange". The proposal allocates CTT liability by product and settlement mode-seller liability for derivatives based on derivatives' prices or indices, purchaser liability for exercised options in goods with different treatment for physical delivery versus non-delivery settlement-and updates statutory definitions, the CTT schedule, and value computation accordingly.

    Tax Collected at Source expanded to cover overseas remittances, tour packages and sales-based collections with specified exemptions.
    Amendments expand Tax Collected at Source (TCS) under section 206C to require authorised dealers to collect TCS on specified overseas remittances under LRS and sellers to collect TCS on sale of overseas tour packages, both with higher rates for non-PAN/Aadhaar cases and specified exemptions.

    TDS on e commerce transactions: operators must withhold on gross platform receipts and treat direct payments as operator credits.
    A new provision imposes TDS on e commerce transactions by requiring the e commerce operator to deduct tax on the gross amount of sales or services when credited to or paid to an e commerce participant; direct payments by purchasers are treated as operator payments. Low volume individual and HUF participants who furnish PAN or Aadhaar are exempt from withholding. The provision overrides other TDS liabilities for the same transactions, excludes operator receipts for unrelated advertising services, and includes definitions and consequential amendments to align withholding and procedural provisions.

    Tax deduction on interest income: large co-operative societies must withhold tax when turnover and per payee interest exceed specified thresholds.
    The amendment narrows exemptions in section 194A(3) so that a co operative society otherwise exempt under clause (v) or (viia) must deduct tax at source if it exceeds a specified turnover threshold in the preceding year and if the interest credited or paid to a payee in the financial year exceeds specified per payee thresholds, with separate thresholds for senior citizens and others.

    TDS on technical services adjusted to reduce classification disputes and align withholding with work contract payments.
    To reduce classification disputes and litigation, the law prescribes a reduced withholding rate specifically for fees for technical services (other than professional services), aligning its TDS incidence more closely with that applicable to payments for execution of work contracts; withholding rates for other categories of fees remain unchanged and the amendment takes effect from the commencement date specified in the measure.

    Attribution to Permanent Establishment now covered in safe harbour rules and advance pricing agreements, providing transfer pricing certainty.
    Amendments expand Safe Harbour Rules to permit acceptance of declared transfer prices that address attribution of profits to a Permanent Establishment, and amend Advance Pricing Agreement provisions to allow APAs to determine or specify the manner of determining such attribution, thereby extending transfer pricing certainty to both safe harbour and APA mechanisms for future and rollback years.

    Business trust definition modified: listing requirement removed so tax pass-through and regime apply to unlisted trusts.
    The proposal amends clause (13A) of section 2 to remove the requirement that units be listed on a recognised stock exchange for a trust to qualify as a business trust, aligning the income tax definition with SEBI amendments that eliminated mandatory listing for InvITs; under section 115UA such trusts remain subject to taxation rules including pass through treatment for SPV interest and rent and filing and reporting obligations.

    Non-resident return filing exemption extended to royalty and FTS when withholding tax is applied at prescribed rates.
    A statutory amendment will exempt a non-resident from filing an income-tax return where the non-resident's total income consists solely of dividend or interest, or specified royalty or fees for technical services, provided that withholding tax on such income has been deducted under Chapter XVII-B at rates not lower than the rates prescribed for tax determination under section 115A(1); the amendment takes effect from the stated commencement date and applies to the relevant assessment year and subsequent years.

    Optional 35AD deduction safeguards right to claim depreciation where assessee forgoes the investment allowance under amended rules.
    The amendment makes the 100% capital expenditure deduction under section 35AD optional and restricts the sub section (4) non allowance rule so that other deductions, including normal depreciation, are disallowed only if the section 35AD deduction has been claimed and allowed; the change applies prospectively to the assessment year beginning 1 April 2020.

    Safe harbour threshold for stamp valuation adjustments increased, reducing valuation-driven recharacterisation of consideration for transfers.
    Increase of the safe harbour threshold from five per cent to ten per cent for valuation comparisons where declared consideration for transfer or receipt of immovable property is lower than the stamp valuation authority's value, so that a declared consideration within the safe harbour is treated as the full value for computing capital gains or income from other sources; effective from 1st April, 2021 and applying to the relevant assessment year and subsequent years.

    Interest limitation carve-out excludes debt from permanent establishments of foreign banks from interest disallowance under amended rules.
    The amendment provides that the interest limitation will not apply to interest paid in respect of debt issued by a lender which is a permanent establishment of a non-resident engaged in banking in India, thereby carving out loans from branches of foreign banks from the section 94B restriction and avoiding application of the earnings based disallowance to such debt.

    Concessional withholding tax extended and applied to municipal debt, enabling foreign investor interest relief within a renewed operative window.
    Amendment to section 194LD extends the concessional withholding tax regime and applies the concessional rate to interest on municipal debt securities by Foreign Institutional Investors and Qualified Foreign Investors, preserving the reduced TDS rate for eligible interest payments and changing the operative period so that interest paid within the newly prescribed window qualifies for the concession, with the amendment taking effect from the start of the specified fiscal period.
