Proposed restrictions on revolving credit facilities for most NBFCs would generally require credit products to operate as term loans, rather than facilities in which principal repayment automatically restores the available borrowing limit.

GST appellate limitation raises whether the period from 15 March 2020 to 28 February 2022 must be excluded when computing time for filing GSTAT appeals where the order in appeal was issued during that interval. It also considers the remedial course where an appeal under section 107 was dismissed as time-barred without examination on merits despite non-consideration of that excluded period.

Tax exemption under section 10(46A) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 applies to the specified income of the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission.

It is effective for assessment year 2026-27, subject to the Commission continuing to be constituted under the Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998 and pursuing qualifying statutory purposes.

Negotiations also raised concerns about protection of major industries, cultural protections and Canada's freedom to conclude trade agreements with other countries.

GST appellate limitation has left some disputes unheard where delayed appeals were rejected without a merits examination. The gap is significant for fraud-related demands where taxpayers seek reclassification under the ordinary demand provision and may thereby be excluded from the legacy waiver framework. A one-time final appellate window could cover appeals rejected or not entertained solely due to limitation, while excluding merits-decided cases and deliberate or repeated procedural disregard. A firm non-extendable deadline and prescribed pre-deposit safeguard could preserve revenue protection and distinguish the measure from continuing limitation relief.
