Corporate political donation deduction limited to non cash payments to registered parties, aligned with company law governance obligations.
Clause 136 permits deduction only to Indian companies for non-cash contributions to political parties registered under section 29A of the Representation of the People Act or to electoral trusts, and defines "contribute" by reference to section 182 of the Companies Act, 2013, thereby importing board-approval, disclosure and reporting obligations and excluding cash donations to ensure traceability and alignment with corporate governance standards.

Clause 133 creates a consolidated deduction regime for monetary donations to specified funds and institutions, distinguishing deduction tiers, imposing an aggregate income-related cap on certain donations, prohibiting duplicate claims for the same donation, and requiring non-cash payment for larger contributions. Deduction entitlement is conditional on donee institutions furnishing prescribed information and accepting risk-based verification; definitions exclude purposes wholly or substantially of a religious nature and delegate procedural detail to subordinate legislation.

Rent deduction for non-HRA assessees clarifies eligibility, computation limits, ownership exclusions and rule made procedural conditions.
Clause 134 grants a deduction for rent paid by individuals for residential accommodation occupied as their own residence, allowable only for rent exceeding 10% of total income and capped at the lower of a prescribed monthly ceiling or 25% of total income, with percentages computed on total income before this deduction. The clause excludes assessees who own residential accommodation at the relevant place or who fall within a specified schedule entry, and authorises rule making for additional conditions and procedural requirements to enable verification and prevent double benefit.

Filing requirement for loss carryforward: procedural return submission determines eligibility to set off future taxable income.
Only losses determined pursuant to a return filed under the prescribed statutory procedure qualify for carry forward and set off; Clause 121 conditions eligibility on a return filed under Section 263(1) while Section 80 conditions it on a return filed under Section 139(3), each referencing the statutory provisions that define eligible loss categories and thereby tying substantive loss recognition to procedural compliance.
Act Rules Bills
Show AI Summary
Disallowing set off of losses against undisclosed income prevents offset after tax searches, requisitions, or surveys.
Clause 120 of the Income Tax Bill, 2025 disallows any loss, whether carried forward or otherwise, and any unabsorbed depreciation from being set off against undisclosed income included in total income where such income is detected as a consequence of a search, requisition, or survey; the clause is expressly overriding and depends on the Bill's definition of undisclosed income for its scope.
Act Rules Bills
Show AI Summary
Carry forward of capital losses: long-term losses limited to long-term gains; short-term losses may be set off under new Bill.
Clause 111 and Section 74 permit carry forward and set off of unabsorbed capital losses, distinguishing long-term losses (set off only against long-term capital gains) from short-term losses (set off against any capital gains), and both limit carry forward to an eight-year period measured from the year the loss was computed; Clause 111 uses the term "tax year" and cross-references related provisions in the new Bill while Section 74 refers to "assessment year."
Act Rules Bills
Show AI Summary
Carry-forward restrictions on losses after ownership or constitution changes limit tax benefits from strategic restructuring.
Clause 119 restricts carry forward and set off of losses after changes in firm constitution, business succession by non-inheritance successors, and corporate shareholding changes unless continuity of beneficial voting power is maintained. It permits an exception for start-ups where all original shareholders retain their shares and losses occurred within the first ten years, and enumerates exceptions (death, gifts to relatives, specified amalgamations/demergers, approved insolvency resolution plans) while defining terms relevant for application.
