The credit may nevertheless be used to discharge tax liability arising from the operator's own platform services, including services supplied for platform fees or commission.

Depositories, custodians and Designated Depository Participants must update their systems, and the revised framework takes effect immediately.

Books of account and quantitative stock records maintained regularly and audited should not be rejected merely by applying gross-profit rates or reasoning from earlier search-related years.

Where no current-year deficiencies are identified, book results for gold and silver bullion sales should be accepted and estimated gross-profit additions deleted. Delay in filing an appeal may be condoned where the explanation, supported by affidavits, is accepted as sufficient and no defect is shown in the exercise of appellate discretion.

Agentic AI may create particular concerns where it monitors competitors' prices and autonomously responds without direct human intervention. Competition law aims to prevent anti-competitive practices, promote competition, protect consumers and preserve freedom of trade, while allowing legitimate growth and innovation. Market dominance is not objectionable in itself; concern arises from abuse of dominance through exclusionary or exploitative practices.
