Overall, the amendment in form of proviso to S. 10(38) is an anti-abuse measure, and a step forward to the Government’s agenda of cracking unaccounted money. Equally important is the Government’s commitment to notify genuine transactions that remain outside the fold of this amendment.
The provisional figures for revenue collections up to March, 2017 show a gross Direct Tax collection of Rs. 10.09 lakh crore.

The existing ITR Forms ITR-2, ITR-2A and ITR-3 have been rationalized and a single ITR-2 has been notified in place of these three forms. Consequently, ITR-4 and ITR-4S (Sugam) have been renumbered as ITR-3 and ITR-4 (Sugam) respectively.
