FirstpostFinance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that the new income tax bill, which will be presented in Parliament next week, will aim to make the IT Act relevant to the 21st century, with the focus being on encouraging citizens to manage their income tax on their own, according to a report Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that the new income tax bill, which will be presented in Parliament next week, will aim to make the IT Act relevant to the 21st century, with the focus being on encouraging citizens to manage their income tax on their own. The proposed new income tax law stems from the earlier Budget announcement for 2024-25. In July 2024, Sitharaman had initiated a comprehensive review of the Income Tax Act of 1961, with the goal of completing it within six months. In October of the previous year, the Income Tax department announced the establishment of an internal committee to review the Income Tax Act, inviting public input on four key areas: simplifying the language, reducing litigation, minimising compliance burdens, and eliminating outdated provisions.
