C. Socio-economic welfare measures
Extension of the last date for commencement of manufacturing or production, under section 115BAB, from 31.03.2023 to 31.03.2024
Section 115BAB of the Income-tax Act provides for an option of concessional rate of taxation @ 15 % for new domestic manufacturing companies provided that they do not avail of any specified incentives or deductions and fulfil certain other conditions.
2. Sub-section (2) of section 115BAB of the Act contains the conditions required to be fulfilled by such companies. Clause (a) of said sub-section (2) provides that the new domestic manufacturing company is required to be set up and registered on or after 01.10.2019, and is required to commence manufacturing or production of an article or thing on or before 31st March, 2023.
3. The intent of the introduction of section 115BAB was to attract investment, create jobs and trigger overall economic growth. However, the cumulative impact of the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in some delay in setting up/registration of new domestic companies and the commencement of manufacturing or production by such companies, if they have been set up and registered.
4. In order to provide relief to such companies, it is proposed to amend section 115BAB so as to extend the date of commencement of manufacturing or production of an article or thing, from 31st March, 2023 to 31st March, 2024.
5. This amendment will take effect from 1st April, 2022 and will accordingly apply in relation to the assessment year 2022-23 and subsequent assessment years.
[Clause 26]
Concessional tax under section 115BAB extended to give new manufacturers extra time to commence production due to pandemic delays. Section 115BAB permits new domestic manufacturing companies to opt for a concessional tax rate if they forgo specified incentives and meet conditions, including commencement of manufacturing by a statutory cut-off. The proposal amends section 115BAB to extend the deadline for commencement of manufacturing or production by one year to relieve companies delayed by the COVID 19 pandemic; the amendment takes effect from 1 April 2022 and applies to the assessment year 2022-23 and subsequent years.
