Sunset clause on historic prosecutions: prohibits initiation of fresh prosecutions under section 276AB from April 2022.

Amendments propose a sunset clause in section 276AB to bar initiation of fresh prosecutions after 1 April 2022 for offences connected with transfers of immovable property made in the period when Chapter XX-C had been rendered inapplicable, while permitting continuation of prosecutions already initiated; additionally, section 276B is to be amended to substitute its cross-reference with an explicit reference to the proviso to the withholding provision to remove ambiguity created by prior amendments.
