Parliamentary Panel Reviews Compliance Issues in New Income Tax Act Implementation
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance, chaired by Bhartruhari Mahtab, has identified compliance issues in the implementation of the new Income Tax Act 2026, effective since April 1. The committee is seeking detailed data from the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) to assess impacts on taxpayer numbers, revenue growth, and litigation trends. While noting increased tax revenue amid a buoyant economy, the committee highlighted glitches, especially in appellate cases and High Court decisions, and plans further discussions with tax authorities to address these challenges.
