It also provides tax exemptions for specific payments received from the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">National Pension System Trust<\/span>, enhancing the scheme&#8217;s attractiveness for subscribers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Under <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Section 10<\/span> of the Income-tax Act, two new clauses are introduced:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Clause 12AA:<\/span> Up to <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">60% of the total corpus<\/span> received by a subscriber upon <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">superannuation, voluntary retirement, or retirement under Rule 56(j)<\/span> of the Fundamental Rules is exempt from tax, provided the retirement is not classified as a penalty.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Clause 12AB<\/span>: Any <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">lump-sum payments<\/span> received under the Unified Pension Scheme are also <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">fully exempt<\/span> from income tax.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The scope of eligible foreign investors has been broadened. The <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Public Investment Fund (&#8216;PIF&#8217;)<\/span> of the <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Government of Saudi Arabia<\/span>, along with its <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">wholly owned subsidiaries<\/span>, is now explicitly included as a qualified entity for <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">tax exemptions on investments made in India<\/span> under this clause.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">standard deduction<\/span> provisions have been expanded, allowing a broader range of salaried taxpayers to benefit from reduced taxable income, aiming at improving tax equity and simplifying compliance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Section 80CCD<\/span> is revised to introduce sub-section (3A), which mandates that any amount received from the pension account upon retirement is taxable unless transferred to a pool corpus.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">A new sub-section (6) clarifies that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">transfers to a pool corpus<\/span> are <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">not treated as income<\/span>. Additionally, the definition of &#8220;salary&#8221; has been updated to <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">explicitly include dearness allowance<\/span>, while <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">excluding other allowances and perquisites<\/span>, refining the basis for salary-related deductions and exemptions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Key Amendments to Finance Act, 2025:<\/h3>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<li>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Section 49<\/span> has been amended to state that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">any pending assessments or reassessments<\/span> will <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">automatically abate<\/span> if a <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">search or requisition is conducted<\/span> under <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Sections 132 or 132A.<\/span> This prevents duplication and ensures procedural clarity during investigation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The amendment clarifies that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">proceedings initiated between the date of search and the final order under Section 158BC<\/span> will be governed by a streamlined process. This reduces procedural overlap, enhances efficiency, and aligns with the goal of faster resolution of search-related tax
