New Delhi- Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday introduced the Income Tax Bill, 2025, in the Lok Sabha and urged Speaker Om Birla to refer it to a select committee of the House.
Opposition members opposed the Bill at the introduction stage but the House passed a motion by voice vote for its introduction.
While moving the Bill for introduction, Sitharaman urged Birla to refer the draft law to a select committee of the House, which will submit its report by the first day of the next session.
She urged the speaker to take a call on the proposed panel’s composition and rules.
The much-anticipated Bill will replace terminologies such as “assessment year” and “previous year” with the easier-to-understand “tax year” as part of a move to simplify language while removing provisos and explanations.
