The amendment exempts interest awarded by Motor Accidents Claims Tribunals from tax for individuals and legal heirs. It treats such receipts as relief rather than taxable income.
Interest on compensation awarded to individuals will no longer attract TDS. The change ensures accident victims receive full interest amounts without deduction.
Taxpayers will be able to apply online for lower or nil TDS certificates. The move simplifies compliance and reduces dependency on physical interface.
The law addressed the compliance burden faced by resident buyers purchasing property from non-resident sellers. It was held that resident individuals and HUFs need not obtain TAN for such transactions, simplifying TDS compliance from October 2026.
The issue involved repetitive filing of no-TDS declarations with multiple payers by investors. The amendment permits filing a single declaration with a depository, which will share it with payers, significantly reducing compliance burden.
The issue was confusion over whether manpower supply attracted contractor TDS or technical services TDS. The amendment clarifies it as work, ensuring lower and uniform TDS rates from April 2026.
The issue was denial of deduction to non-life insurers where TDS was not deducted or paid on time. The amendment allows such expenses to be claimed later once TDS compliance is completed.
The Bill introduces relief on post-supply discounts, export taxation, refunds and intermediary services. It also simplifies customs procedures and expands automation to reduce compliance friction.
