Income Tax Act 2025: Reduced sections, simplified TDS, ITR forms, check features of new law

The Income Tax Department will bring in new rules and Income Tax Returns (ITR) forms under the new Income Tax Act, 2025, by January, said Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) chief Ravi Agrawal said on Monday. Before its implementation from the next fiscal year starting April 1, the IT department will notify the new rules. “The intent of the department is to keep the I-T Return forms simple to ease compliance under the new law, which replaces the six-decade old Income Tax Act, 1961,” he said. After launching the Taxpayers' Lounge at the India International Trade Fair (IITF), briefing the reporters here, he said, “We are in the process of designing forms and rules. We are working towards putting this in place by January so that taxpayers have sufficient time to adapt their processes within their system.” He further said that the main aim is to keep the income tax return (ITR) forms simple for taxpayers to facilitate compliance. What are the features of the Income Tax Act, 2025? The Income Tax Act, 2025 was passed by Parliament on August 12 and will simplify tax laws but not new tax rates. All forms under the new Act, including TDS quarterly return forms and ITR forms, are being made anew, with the Directorate of Systems working towards making them taxpayer-friendly. After vetting by the law department, the rules will be notified and laid before Parliament, an official said. The Income Tax Act, 2025, which will come into effect from next financial year, April 1, 2026, will also reduce wordage in the legislation making it simple to understand. It has only simplified the language, which was required for understanding the complex income tax laws. The new tax law will also do away with redundant provisions and archaic language along with reducing the number of sections from 819 in the Income Tax Act of 1961 to 536 and the number of chapters from 47 to 23. The number of words has been reduced from 5.12 lakh to 2.6 lakh in the new law, and it has introduced 39 new tables and 40 new formulas, replacing the dense text of the 1961 law, to enhance clarity.

THIS country grounds flights, halts military training for annual college entry exam; not US, UK, China, it is...

Students in South Korea sat for the toughest exam of their lives last week. The college entrance test is serious business in the country: Flights were halted and the police were put on standby to escort students to exam centres. Dubbed the College Scholastic Ability Test or CSAT, the exam can determine the course of future lives for these students. The test saw lakhs of pupils appear at thousands of centres across the country this year alone. What is the CSAT exam? The CSAT, called suneung in the Korean language, is an annual exam that students take to secure seats at top universities. It is usually held in the third week of November. High schoolers in their third year or those with a high school diploma can sit for the highly-competitive test. The eight-hour-long test is the culmination of preparations of at least three years, including more than 10 state-run mock exams. How does South Korea prep for exam? The South Korean government takes various steps to create a conducive environment for those taking the test. So much so that it grounds flights, pauses military training, and deploys police officials in large numbers for traffic control. As many as 140 flights -- 65 domestic and 75 international -- were rescheduled on Monday due to the high-stakes exam. Defence drills such as artillery fire and tank manoeuvres were also reportedly suspended. On test day, well over 10,000 cops and more than 2,200 patrol cars were mobilised to manage increased traffic across the country.
