Direct Tax Code 2025: Key Reforms, Impact & DTC 2025 Updates

India’s taxation system is witnessing a historic transformation with the introduction of the Direct Tax Code 2025. Replacing the outdated Income Tax Act of 1961, DTC 2025 aims to simplify tax regulations while ensuring transparency and voluntary compliance. This reform is expected to make tax filing easier for individuals and businesses, ultimately modernizing India’s tax framework.

Expanding the Taxpayer Base

One of the primary goals of the Direct Tax Code is to expand India’s taxpayer base. Currently, only around 1% of the population pays income tax. However, DTC 2025 seeks to increase this figure to 7.5% by streamlining tax regulations and minimizing exemptions. This approach ensures fair tax contributions from all income groups while reducing opportunities for tax evasion.

Key Reforms Under DTC 2025

The Direct Tax Code 2025 introduces several crucial reforms to enhance clarity, compliance, and efficiency in tax administration. These reforms aim to align India’s tax structure with global standards while simplifying the process for taxpayers.

1. Removal of RNOR Classification

DTC 2025 eliminates the “Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident” (RNOR) classification. Under the new rules, individuals will now be classified strictly as residents or non-residents, making tax liabilities clearer and reducing ambiguity.

2. Streamlined Terminology

To align with international practices, Direct Tax Code replaces terms like “Assessment Year” and “Previous Year” with “Financial Year.” This change simplifies tax filing and improves understanding among taxpayers, particularly those engaged in global transactions.

3. Capital Gains Treated as Regular Income

Under DTC 2025, capital gains will no longer be classified separately but will instead be taxed as regular income. While this change simplifies tax filings, individuals with significant capital gains may face higher tax obligations.

4. Renaming Income Categories

For better clarity, Direct Tax Code 2025 renames traditional income categories. For instance, “Income from Salary” is now referred to as “Employment Income.” This adjustment improves taxpayer understanding and ensures uniformity in classification.

5. Uniform Corporate Tax Rates

A significant reform under DTC 2025 is the introduction of a single corporate tax rate for both domestic and foreign companies. This uniformity is expected to simplify tax compliance, encourage foreign investment, and create a fair business environment.

6. Reduction of Exemptions and Deductions

To further expand the tax base, the Direct Tax Code significantly reduces exemptions and deductions. By closing tax loopholes, this reform ensures equitable tax contributions across all income levels while minimizing tax avoidance.

7. Broader Scope for TDS and TCS

DTC 2025 extends the applicability of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and Tax Collected at Source (TCS). This ensures a steady tax collection process, improving compliance and transparency throughout the financial year.

8. Inclusive Tax Audits

The Direct Tax Code 2025 broadens tax audit responsibilities by including Company Secretaries (CS) and Cost and Management Accountants (CMA) alongside Chartered Accountants (CA). This move enhances efficiency and professional participation in tax audits.

9. Structured Tax Framework

With 319 sections and 22 schedules, DTC 2025 introduces a well-organized tax code. This structured approach reduces errors, improves taxpayer understanding, and provides clear compliance guidelines.

10. Political Party Exemptions

Despite limiting exemptions in most areas, Direct Tax Code retains tax exemptions for political parties. This decision has generated debates about fairness, as most other tax benefits have been curtailed.

Impact on Professional Exams

The introduction of DTC 2025 will significantly impact professional exams like Chartered Accountancy (CA), Company Secretaryship (CS), and Cost Accountancy (CMA). Until March 2026, students will continue studying the Income Tax Act of 1961, allowing a smooth transition to the Direct Tax Code.

Conclusion

The Direct Tax Code 2025 marks a major shift in India’s taxation system. By simplifying processes, reducing exemptions, and broadening the taxpayer base, DTC 2025 aims to create a fair, transparent, and efficient tax environment. As India transitions to this new framework, taxpayers and professionals must adapt to the changes, ensuring compliance with the updated tax laws. With its structured reforms, DTC 2025 promises long-term benefits, fostering economic growth and improved tax administration.

Bruce, to his TA: I’m so sorry I’m late to class. I gave blood a few hours ago and almost fainted on the way here, but it won’t happen again.

Signs up for a class called “Age of Dinosaurs” despite it not being required whatsoever and proceeds to work his entire schedule around it

Bruce: Your mental health is super important. If you think you should see the on-campus therapist, go see them. Friend: Fine. I’ll sign up for therapy if you sign up for therapy too. Bruce: Hold on-

[boyfriendsmalec]

Still thinking about how they filmed the van scene for 6 hours and Noah and Finn said it was the most emotionally taxing scene they had to film in S4.

Meanwhile Finn said the love monologue was shot in "a few takes."

The Duffers wrote and directed both episodes. So the Duffers felt it necessary to have a 6 hour shoot for Will's coded love confession to get it perfect, but the "main couple" can have the love profession done in just a few takes.

The amount of time dedicated to both relationships by the show creators really is telling.

wriothesley x convict!reader II 2.6k

warning: smut, 18+ content, minors do not interact, afab!reader with no set pronouns, convict!reader,  fingering, squirting, marking, biting, piercings, rough sex, hate sex, office sex, semi-public sex, unprotected sex, creampie, you and wriothesley are exes, angst, degradation, domestic disputes, set in fontaine before the traveler comes, fontaine plot points references, discussions of legal systems and injustice, mention of drugs, discussion of murder, open ending for interpretation, unedited

synopsis: you swore that you would leave the fortress of meropide when your sentence was done. And when you do, your relationship with wriothesley sours as your two break up. Five years later, you're shocked to end up right back in the iron prison where he’s there waiting for you.

The world seemed so distant to you. The whispering throughout sounded as if it were an untuned violin as they lapped up the drama they so desperately craved in their lives. The Oratrice Mécanique D'analyse Cardinale clicked in the irritating orchestra about to come up with its verdict. 

The lawyer next to you fumbled with his papers with a look of shame and defeat in his eyes. Out of everyone in this room, you felt for him. He would surely bounce back with the next chum in your position.

The loud smacking of a cane caused the whispering to dissipate as you finally lifted your head up to witness the Iudeux of Fontaine.His eyes seemed heavy with sorrow. This wasn’t the first time you had witnessed this expression directed at you. Your eyes flickered to your God, Furina yawning as she whispered something to herself in her boredom.

 You can’t help feeling irked at her expression; at all of their expressions.

Why were these people allowed to judge you? 

The only answer you could find was justice was only for the privileged lucky, and you clearly had run out of it.

The contraption glowed, as Neuvillette collected your sentence.

“Under Article D of the Fontainian Code of Law, you are found guilty of fraud. Under Article J of Fontainian Law, you are found guilty of tax evasion…” he rambled on as you bit your lip.

It seemed that the rumors were right, after all. Most people who come out of the Fortress of Meropide find themselves right back in.

”And finally you are guilty of 1st degree murder of your former business partner, Henry Maugham. As a result, you will be serving a life sentence at the Fortress of Meropide,” Neuvillette announced.

You couldn’t help chuckling, covering your mouth from the cruel smile on your face. The whispering sparked once more, heavy eyes judging every movement you made. You finally lifted your hand away, smiling at the judge, but your eyes remained cold on Neuvillette’s somber ones

”Glad to see you never change, Monsieur."

The Melusine officers escorted you down to the Meropide, with only a small sack of clothes you were allowed to bring. From the photos, to the pat downs, it all seemed nostalgic to you. How many familiar faces would you see? You assumed quite a few.

This underwater prison you desperately wanted to escape from in the past, would be your sole future.

Finally finished with orientation, you threw your sack on your assigned bed sitting down, looking down on the steel ground.  With the bed squeaking, your roommates whisper, feeling the heavy air as they make their escape and let you have some space.  

Just as you sigh, thankful to have the room briefly to yourself to process, credit coupons hovered in your view as you looked up to see a tiny girl. Her long ear twitched in anticipation, ruby eyes gleaming at you, but at the same time, held pity in them.

”It’s nice to see you again. I really thought I wouldn’t have the opportunity once you left five years ago,” she chimed, brushing a bit of her baby blue hair.You looked at the tickets trying to give it back to her silently but she puffed her cheeks and shook her head.

”No! Think about it like this; this is for all the birthdays I missed,” she reasoned. You sighed, moving to massage the headache threatening to form.

-”...Sigwienne…why are you here? I’m sorry but-”

”Don’t apologize!” she interrupted, ears slightly drooping. “I, of all people, knew how much you wanted to get out. I-I’m here because the Duke wanted to see you.”

”No.”

”Please! I thought you wouldn’t be mad at him anymore,” she pleaded as eyes blew wide, pleading.Your gaze grew more bitter: 

“So he sent you to soften the blow or some shit,” you grunted. Sigwienne furrowed her eyebrows in disappointment before you clicked your tongue catching your mistake.

”Sorry…language. I know…” you muttered. Your eyes looked up to see a guard at the door, glaring down at you. It seems she was the nice “cop” and if you kept refusing her, he would get involved. You turn back to Sigwienne’s pleading gaze.

”Fine. Lead the way…” you grumbled getting up from your place. Sigwienne smiled, clasping her tiny hand with yours. 

”Off we go then!”

The only solace Sigwienne gave was a timid smile, waving as the door to the Duke’s office closed, leaving you with a man you haven’t seen in five years.

Your former boyfriend. Honestly, the man you naively thought you’d have happily ever after with.

He took a sip of tea before sighing, throwing papers on his desk as he leaned into his chair that creaked from the shifting weight. His hair was the same, black with odd streaks of gray hair he always had. He had a few new piercings on his ears though. 

”In all these years, I didn’t think I’d see your face again,” he murmured.Your jaw tense and eyes narrowed. His voice seemed as irritating as he’s ever been.

“You think I wanted you to see your sorry ass again, Wriothelsey?” you barked back. -He clicked his tongue, rolling his icy eyes.

 “I can see you’re not over our breakup..” he grumbled, drumming his fingers on the desk. You crossed your eyes, looking down with him with all the defiance you could muster up.

”If that’s what you want to call you being a selfish prick, sure,” you replied back.Wriothesley's nostrils flared but he didn’t spout any insults back.

”I thought you said you wanted to change for the better,” he asked, grabbing a file and holding it up. Of course he knew everything. He knew the second you were preparing to dive down to the Meropide.

”I did and I was. As if I wanted to come down here again. You know that out of everyone! But, I forgot something, people are cruel. And now, I’m stuck here for the rest of my life,” you raised your hands out, proclaiming loudly.

”...Just like you wanted.”

”I did not want that and you know it!” he shouted. It seemed his temper had started to reflect out. Tension was thick in the air as you laughed.

”Oh, right. My mistake. No you wanted to stay in this shithole and be the king of it, how could I forget? Your heart only had room for one person—the Meropide— not me!”

He rose from his seat, face beginning to go red in anger.

”Don’t! I’m not playing this game with you! You know how much I loved you. I loved you so much but you knew there’s nothing out there for me.”

Nails dug in your palms hearing his response as your emotions were beginning to get to you. 

 “Well you would have made something with ME out there!” you yelled, tears beginning to weld in your eyes. You turned away, wiping your tears and shuttered. You felt embarrassed being right in the same position as you were when the two of you first broke up and crying in front of him again after years.

”...I wanted us to build a new life together. Our sentences finished at the same time. You could have left with me, but you didn’t,” you whispered, angrily wiping your face. Silence fell the both of you besides your occasional sniffle and his heavy footsteps walking closer to you.

-”...And I wanted us to build a new life together here. But I wasn’t going to stop you from getting out of the Meropide.”

A frustrated grunt ripped from you as you couldn’t hold your irritation anymore. You marched to him, glaring at his form towering over you. 

To your surprise, he leaned down and kissed you. And shocking you both, you kissed him back with just as much fervor. 

”Selfish. Blockheaded. Smug dick--” you stammered out  among the heated kisses, claiming your lips with every second. Nibbling on your bottom lip, his tongue darted in your parted mouth as you threw your arms around his shoulder. His kiss was of the familiar taste of Earl Grey you remembered he was so fond of.

“Moody, Frustrating, Manipulative asshole,” he grunted back. Article after article of clothing, fell on the floor as you fell onto his couch with a plop. Your hands ran across his firm stomach and chest.You gasped feeling his large palm cup against your sex.

”Still wearing the same underwear I smuggled in for our anniversary. I see you’re still a cheapskate or are you just sentimental?” he grunted  in your ear. His finger firmly brushed across your clit, pleasure soon beginning to reverberate throughout  your lower form. You groan, hitting his toned thigh.

”Shut the fuck up!”

Wriothesley slid your panties down until they caught on your ankle as his fingers glided along the bare cunt. He rubbed your clit with his calloused thumb.

”I see you still have rough ass hands,” you chimed. Wriothesley rolled his eyes, before chuckling.

”Yet you can’t get enough of them as always” he shot back. Fingers slowly sank inside of you as you threw your head back. His digits curled and stretched you out, tenderly pumping at a decent pace as you squirmed under his touch.

His hips bucked slightly against your thigh where you could feel how hard his cock was, desperately pressed against his gray slacks.He hitched your legs over his broad shoulders as he nibbled your inner thighs—leaving a wake of discolored marks and soft bite marks.

”Fuck! Fuck!”you whined out, hands shooting out to pull his soft hair. Your legs caved in closer to his cheeks as he pumped his faster.

He leaned in, letting his tongue brush against your clit as it was the last thing to push you over. Back arched, fluid spraying from you as he continually lapped at your overstimulated cunt as the liquid made a mess of his face and the couch. 

As your body fell, breath heavy from your high, his fingers pulled out of you—walls unconsciously tightening, wishing they would stay. Satisfied with your fucked out expression, he smirked wiping his hand with his chin from your fluids. You narrow your eyes at him, watching him swirl his tongue around cleaning his fingers that were coated in your essence.

”Your face, it’s pissing me off,” you grunted. Wriothesley briefly laughed. Your heart fluttered momentarily. You hated how much you missed it.

“Said the person who squirted on my face. Been a long time hasn’t it, hm?” he teased. You glared before his eyes softened to something genuine.

”..Yeah, me too.”

He sat on his couch, shifting his pants down as his cock slapped on his lower stomach

He stroked his length as it pulsated in his grip. Every once and a while, a wavering moan left his lips. It seemed he had a new piercing too.

A Prince Albert piercing, glinting from the light and precum budding at his flushed tip.You shifted your hips, contemplating if you should go to the next step of someone that was your ex, but seeing him shutter, muffling his mouth and hearing your name was the push you needed.

”Fuck I missed you inside of me,” you groaned, kissing him. You hovered over his cock lining yourself up before sinking down. His hands found their way to the globe of your ass, grabbing the mounds tightly before you managed to reach his hilt.

”Like old times…” he whispered  out, hazy lust gazing over his eyes.

”Just like it…” you moaned.

His pace was relentless as you called out his name. His jaw was clenched, watching your slick dripped down your thighs and his cock as he continued to slam you down on it. Your whole body jumped, as his hips moved up to meet him pulling you down his cock.

”I missed you so fucking much. Your smile. Your voice…fuck your scent. I couldn’t sleep properly for months when you left.” he groaned. 

”I-I couldn’t either…fuck! There! Right there!!” you yelled out. HIs cock continued to press against your soft walls, hitting the spot that caused your voice to reach higher and higher, stomach churning as you almost hit your release.

“ ‘Thesley,” you cried out, nails harpooning into his back as you brought him closer to you. Your body shuttered, walls quivering and tightening. He clenched his jaw, having a harder time bouncing you on his cock.

”...I still fucking love you!” Wriothesley grunted, sinking his teeth into your neck. With one final rough thrust— his hips faltered—as thick ropes of cup jet out and inside of you. He slowly thrusted, moving to try to nurse down his high.

You shifted your neck, leaning his chin up before you kissed him once more. 

For a second, just for a second, it was like you never left him. That you two were still together.That you were in your early twenties, dumb and in love.

Wriothesley broke the kiss first as your fantasy was briefly shattered. His eyes were soft but clearly searching for something within yours. 

“...You still never told me why you are back here,” he replied. You groaned, and rolled your eyes pushing his face away as he grunted. You rose from him, his cum and your slick drooling from your hole before you went to grab your panties and put them back on.

Wriothesley merely sighed, lifting his boxers and pants back on. 

”...I was framed,” you admitted, putting your bra on. Just as Wriothesley was about to put his shirt on, he looked up in shock.

”What”

”Out there, I owned a small cute cafe. You know the one I always talked about based on a beloved classic, Les Aventures d’Alice au Pays des Merveilles,” you chuckled to yourself, recalling reading it to Sigwienne with Wriothesley at times. 

“ I didn’t have funds. Who would fund an ex-convict, y’know. But I met Henry, the aristocrat who promised my dreams. I thought things were going well until I discovered he had used the business as a front to sell absinthe.” You looked down, finally buttoning your shirt on and looking at Wriothesley’s somber face.

“He tried to kill me, I killed him first.”

Wriothelsey briefly closed his eyes processing the information before buttoning his own shirt.

“..But you know this country more than anyone else. He had power after death, and I was pinned with the crime by his frustrated associates,” you whispered, adjusting your color to hide the marks you knew Wriothesley left.

“I can help. We can catch them and get you back--” 

“There’s no point.” you sighed, but smiled. You chuckled humorlessly, walking to the door to his office. You clenched the handle, your back turned to hide your expression. 

Your real expression.

”I guess I wasn’t meant to be out there after all."

The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a sleepy part of the Treasury Department. It’s also where, sources say, a 25-year-old engineer tied to [ ] as admin privileges over the code that controls Social Security payments, tax returns, and more."

"Two of those sources say that Elez’s privileges include the ability not just to read but to write code on two of the most sensitive systems in the US government: The Payment Automation Manager (PAM) and Secure Payment System (SPS) at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS). Housed on a top-secret mainframe, these systems control, on a granular level, government payments that in their totality amount to more than a fifth of the US economy."

"“You could do anything with these privileges,” says one source with knowledge of the system, who adds that they cannot conceive of a reason that anyone would need them for purposes of simply hunting down fraudulent payments or analyzing disbursement flow."

the Bureau of the Fiscal Service is responsible for financing the national debt. get ready for these morons to inject blockchain into the nation’s banking system. tech bros so desperately want to crash the USD and switch us over to crypto and this is just another brick in the wall of that construction effort. all of this while many BRICS nations are ready to switch to a different default currency altogether. the 20's are really back, baby.

I'm unimpressed

Whenever any leftist interacts with me, it's always the same. They posture and laugh at me for being a conservative. They look down on me. They cite false statistics or allegations fed to them by propaganda networks. They exhibit arrogance, smug superiority and overwhelming condescension without any knowledge, understanding or moral fortitude to back it up. When everything else fails, they resort to the New Communist slogan of "racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic".

To which I respond: My best friends include a black man from Trinidad, a Latina woman who immigrated to the US at the age of five, a man with Aspergers and severe anxiety disorder, a black lesbian, an Indian South African, a Chinese American woman, an octogenarian gay man, a Cameroonian man and a Saudi Arabian man who describes himself as pansexual. And a whole bunch of really awesome white people who are not racist, sexist, homophobic or transphobic.

I'm gay. I voted for Trump because i don't believe the Democrats love me. I don't need them to love me. I don't want their love. They love sin and the embrace of dark triad behavior as their paragon for leadership skills, totalitarian thought control, the destruction of society, and they seek to make atheism the norm. They love the denigration of any individual that defies them, disagrees with their tactics, calls out their lies...they hate truthtellers. They hate anyone that places God as an imperative and sacred texts as crucial to their ethical conduct. They hate anyone that threatens their power and they believe in encouraging public vitriol to meet their needs. They believe in the destruction of the nuclear family. They encourage the worship of and dependence on the state to replace the family. They believe in a direct pipeline between the White House and newly established propaganda networks that cater only to the Democrat Party and the CIA. They believe in reputation destruction using those propaganda networks. They believe they have the right to assassinate Trump and anyone else who they deem a threat to their power. They have initiated the single worst attack on children in the history of our country via human trafficking and institutionalized rape ordered by the CIA. They normalized embezzlement, money laundering and inflationary tax on an unheard of scale to further demoralize the populace and inflate their own bank accounts. They conduct constant psychological war against their own people, which extends to perverting the minds of their children without their knowledge via the trans cult, the gender theory cult, and the DEI/Critical Race Theory cult.

On the issue of transphobia, I certainly don't endorse violence. But it is not violence to state that all trans people are mentally ill and they must be stopped from mutilation of children and sterilizing minors with puberty blockers, from demanding forced speech regarding their delusions, from using public funds to procure trans surgeries and from public attaining positions of power such as the Secretary of Health where they may spread their perverse cult directives causing psychological and physiological arm to adults and children alike.

They believe in these things because they want to secure a future for an elite minority that takes everything for itself, enslaves the rest of the populace, and convinces the populace that their astronomical greed is justifiable and that their destructive policies that result in totalitarian hell should be embraced as godly, necessary, and protective measures. They mockingly wear a mask of sympathy, compassion and the moniker of "social justice" which is nothing more than a code for "thought police" whose sole purpose is to implant hatred for political opponents and self hatred amongst whites, any minorities with religious sensibilities, and the intelligentia at large.

The future that they desire is a constant hell of pervasive misery and support of a one party state, supported by thoughtless government worship, slogan repetition, dehumanization of political opposition, desensitization to violence to meet the ends of the party's plans, mentacide, hatred of the past and all the accomplishments of Western Civilization, physical degradation and obesity from technological addiction and slow chemical poisoning from tainted food and lastly lowering testosterone via pbthalates.

I'm a gay white male and that doesn't play into my vote. It shouldn't. The body you're born with shouldn't determine your vote. Your party has done absolutely nothing for me. You have never done anything to help me. I am happy to fight you to the bitter end in any way I can to stop you from the communist genocide you so lovingly long for.

India’s Direct Tax Code 2025: A Tax System Revolution

Direct Tax Code 2025: Transforming India’s Tax System

India stands on the brink of a tax revolution with the introduction of the direct tax code 2025. Designed to replace the Income Tax Act of 1961, the direct tax code simplifies tax processes, reduces complexities, and boosts compliance. This transformative step redefines taxation for individuals, businesses, and the broader economy, paving the way for sustainable growth.

Why the Direct Tax Code is Essential

The direct tax code addresses the inefficiencies of India’s current tax framework, which has grown overly complex with numerous exemptions and convoluted rules. These complexities have deterred compliance, limiting government revenue. Remarkably, only a small fraction of the population contributes to taxes. By aiming to expand the tax base from 1% to 7.5%, the direct tax code fosters transparency and enhances revenue collection, ensuring long-term economic stability.

Key Reforms in the Direct Tax Code 2025

The direct tax code 2025 introduces comprehensive reforms to modernize India’s tax system. Here are the critical changes:

1. Simplified Residential Status

The direct tax code eliminates the “Resident but Not Ordinarily Resident” category, offering clarity on residency rules. This reform ensures taxpayers understand their obligations, reducing ambiguity for residents and non-residents alike.

2. Focus on Financial Year

DTC 2025 removes the outdated concepts of “Assessment Year” and “Previous Year,” allowing taxpayers to focus solely on the Financial Year (FY). This change eliminates confusion and promotes straightforward tax filing.

3. Unified Capital Gains Taxation

Capital gains are now aligned with regular income, eliminating preferential tax rates. While this reform creates uniformity, individuals with substantial capital gains may face increased tax liabilities.

4. Redefined Income Categories

Income categories are redefined for better understanding. “Income from Salary” becomes “Employment Income,” while “Income from Other Sources” transforms into “Income from Residuary Sources.” These changes improve clarity for taxpayers and authorities alike.

5. Unified Corporate Tax Rates

The direct tax code 2025 introduces a uniform tax rate for domestic and foreign companies. By eliminating discrepancies, this reform simplifies compliance for multinational corporations and attracts foreign investment.

6. Reduced Deductions and Exemptions

The direct tax code significantly cuts down on deductions and exemptions, closing loopholes and creating a fairer tax environment. However, this change might increase liabilities for some taxpayers.

7. Expanded Tax Audits

Tax audits can now be conducted by Company Secretaries (CS) and Cost Management Accountants (CMAs), in addition to Chartered Accountants (CAs). This expansion ensures greater accessibility and efficiency in the auditing process.

8. Broader TDS and TCS Applications

The direct tax code 2025 broadens the scope of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and Tax Collected at Source (TCS). By extending these mechanisms across various income types, the reform ensures timely tax collection and improved compliance.

9. Simplified Legal Framework

With just 319 sections and 22 schedules, the direct tax code simplifies the legal framework, making it easier for stakeholders to navigate the tax system. This streamlining represents a significant departure from the cumbersome Income Tax Act of 1961.

Implications for Professionals and Political Parties

The direct tax code 2025 introduces fairness across the board, though political parties remain exempt from taxation, raising questions about equity. For professionals like CAs, CSs, and CMAs, the changes will impact their exams starting in April 2026, while students appearing before March 2026 will follow the old provisions.

Conclusion

The direct tax code 2025 signifies a transformative shift in India’s taxation landscape. By simplifying processes, reducing exemptions, and expanding the tax base, it fosters a transparent and efficient system. Transitioning to the direct tax code requires adaptability from individuals and businesses, but the benefits outweigh the challenges. Ultimately, the direct tax code 2025 aligns with India’s vision for economic growth and fairness, ensuring a sustainable and equitable taxation model for the future.
