The contrast with the old Income-Tax Act is stark.
The 1961 law ran into 512,000 words; the 2025 one pares that down to 259,000.
Chapters have been cut from 47 to 23, while sections have reduced from 819 to 536.
One of the clearest changes is terminological.
The confusing twin concepts of 'assessment year' and 'previous year' have been scrapped.
