The Specified Undertaking of Unit Trust of India (SUUTI) was created vide the Unit Trust of India (Transfer of Undertaking and Repeal) Act, 2002 as the successor of Unit Trust of India (UTI). Exemption from Income-tax was available to SUUTI in respect of its income up to 31st March, 2014.
SUUTI has been wound up and is succeeded by a new company wholly owned by the Central Government. It has been incorporated on 7th June, 2012 as National Financial Holdings Company Limited (NFHCL).
In order to provide the exemption on the lines of SUUTI to NFHCL, it is proposed to amend section 10 to grant exemption to National Financial Holdings Company Limited in respect of its income accruing, arising or received on or before 31.03.2014.
This amendment will take effect retrospectively from 1st April, 2013 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 2013-14 and assessment year 2014-15.
