Effective from April 1, 2026, the bill incorporates around 90 suggestions from ICAI, including AMT applicability and refund claim rules. ICAI believes this will make India a more attractive investment destination. Agencies Representative AI Image Chartered accountants' apex body ICAI on Wednesday said the new Income Tax Bill provides a simple and clear framework that will enhance the ease of doing business and support India's goal of becoming the favoured investment destination. On Tuesday, Parliament passed a new income tax bill to replace the six-decade-old Income Tax Act, 1961, that will come into force from April 1, 2026.
