The Lok Sabha on Monday passed the Income Tax Bill, 2025, aimed at overhauling India’s 63-year-old income tax framework, in just three minutes and without debate, reported the PTI.

The swift passage occurred amid protests by opposition members over alleged irregularities in Bihar's electoral roll revision.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman reintroduced the bill -- first tabled in February and withdrawn on August 8 -- with substantial changes based on recommendations from a Parliamentary Select Committee.
