    New concessional tax regime for individuals and HUFs allows optional slab taxation with strict deduction and withdrawal conditions.
    Insertion of section 115BAC allows individuals and HUFs to opt into a concessional tax regime from assessment year 2021-22 under specified slab rates, subject to conditions: limited permitted allowances, broad disallowance of exemptions and deductions (including many section 10 exemptions, chapter VI-A deductions, and certain depreciation and loss set-offs), prescribed treatment of depreciation and transitional written-down value adjustment, prescribed exercise and withdrawal mechanics, and consequential exclusion from AMT and AMT credit carry-forward provisions.

    Concessional tax option for resident co-operative societies permits a reduced corporate rate subject to strict disallowances.
    A new provision allows resident co-operative societies to opt for a concessional tax regime from the assessment year beginning 1 April 2021 where the society elects the option by the prescribed due date; the option is irrevocable and applies to subsequent years. Eligibility requires computing total income without specified deductions or incentives and without set-off of earlier losses or depreciation attributable to those disallowed items; such losses and depreciation are deemed given full effect and barred from future deduction, with prescribed written down value adjustments for unabsorbed depreciation. The regime attracts a 10 per cent surcharge and excludes applicability of Alternate Minimum Tax and related credit carryforward.

    Surcharge tiers on income-tax established by taxpayer class and income bands; marginal relief and health and education cess apply.
    The Bill prescribes tax rates for assessment year 2020-21 and establishes a multi-tier surcharge regime differentiated by taxpayer class and income bands, with specific caps on surcharge for income taxed under certain provisions. Marginal relief is provided to temper surcharge effects at thresholds. A Health and Education Cess is levied at a fixed rate on income tax inclusive of surcharge, with no marginal relief available for the cess.

    Judicial custody applied where investigative agency failed to demonstrate necessity for police or CBI custodial interrogation.
    The magistrate refused the investigating agency's request for custodial interrogation, finding insufficient grounds for police/CBI custody and remanding the accused to judicial custody pending further production. The accused and co accused presented conflicting accounts-one alleging he had been investigating a larger fraud and that superiors failed to act-while defence counsel warned of administrative consequences arising from custody. The magistrate applied the requirement that custodial remand be justified by demonstrable investigative necessity rather than allegation alone.

    Reopening of assessment: Section 148 notices held in abeyance pending Supreme Court decision on Section 80P deduction entitlement.
    Reopening of assessment under Section 147 and notices under Section 148 to cooperative societies were stayed and kept in abeyance pending disposal of Special Leave Petitions concerning entitlement to deduction under Section 80P(2)(a)(i) read with Section 80P(4). The High Court ordered that if the Supreme Court allows the SLPs the notices will revive and reassessment may proceed, and if the Supreme Court rules for the assessees the impugned notices will be set aside.

    Pre-deposit requirement can be satisfied before the appeal is first taken up for consideration, permitting admission if paid.
    The pre-deposit obligation is an independent mandatory condition distinct from the limitation period for filing or condoning delay; it need not be discharged at filing but can be satisfied up to the moment the appellate authority first takes the appeal up for consideration for condonation or admission. If proof of payment of the specified tax dues is not produced by that first consideration, the appellate authority must reject the appeal as institutionally defective and has no power to extend time to deposit.

    Substance over form requires assessing officers to inquire beyond certified statutory forms before reopening assessments.
    Non-disclosure must be sufficiently material to show that, but for it, income would have escaped assessment; Assessing Officers must not rely mechanically on CA-certified statutory forms and must make independent enquiries, applying the substance over form principle when determining commencement of commercial production or eligibility for tax concessions.

    Search and seizure authorization: proper officer's reason to believe permits prohibition orders and provisional release via clause six.
    Section 67 empowers an authorised proper officer, not below Joint Commissioner, to search and seize goods or documents when he has reason to believe they are secreted; if seizure is impracticable, a prohibition on dealing with goods may be issued under Rule 139(4). "Secreted" includes items not kept in their normal place or likely to be kept out of the way, and the officer must have a reasoned belief before exercising search powers. Procedural accuracy in authorisation and forms is required, and clause (6) permits provisional release on bond, security or payment.
