NEW DELHI: Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday addressed concerns about the new income tax bill , set to be introduced in Lok Sabha on Monday, stressing that it has incorporated all the amendments suggested by the select committee and accepted by the govt, maintaining the essence of the original bill.
"The hard work done in the last six months and suggestions will be reflected in the new Income Tax Bill, 2025 which the finance minister will be introducing on Monday," Rijiju said.
The minister said the apprehension being raised about the bill on social media are ill founded as the new bill will incorporate all the changes suggested by the select committee and which have been accepted by the govt. "This is normal parliamentary procedure when amendments in the bill already introduced are many," Rijiju said.
In a statement, Union minister Rijiju said for any amendment to be made in a bill, a member of the House or the person who introduces the bill (in this case FM) has to move each amendment individually, and for that purpose, for each amendment he or she would have to first seek the Lok Sabha speaker's permission. "Thereafter, the amendment is moved for consideration by LS. Then on the House agreeing to the amendment, the amendment is to be considered again as part of the bill. Thus, for each amendment three motions are to be moved," the Union minister added.
