CBDT forms internal committee to comprehensively review Income-tax Act

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has formed an internal committee to oversee a comprehensive review of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (Act). The goal is to make the Act concise, clear, and easy to understand, which will reduce disputes, litigation, and provide greater tax certainty to taxpayers.

The committee invites public inputs and suggestions in four categories:

  1. Simplification of Language
  2. Litigation Reduction
  3. Compliance Reduction, and
  4. Redundant/Obsolete Provisions

To facilitate this, a webpage has been launched on the e-filing portal, which can be accessed online. The website is live and accessible to the stakeholders/experts/public in the E-filing portal from 06.10.2024. The stakeholders/experts/public can access the page by entering their name and mobile number, followed up by a validation via OTP.
