This move is expected to benefit the middle-class segment and increase disposable income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Budget also confirmed the introduction of a new Direct Tax Code, replacing the Income Tax Act of 1961. The new code aims to simplify tax compliance, reduce legal complexities, and eliminate the option of choosing between old and new tax regimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly 40,000 taxpayers are being investigated by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) in relation to tax deductions they claimed in FY 2022\u20132023 and 2023\u20132024.
