“We have substantially simplified the indirect and direct tax systems through simpler rules, new legislation, and use of technology. We are committed to launch an exercise to completely revamp our economic and commercial legislations to suit our economic needs.”
Significant action has been taken: the new Income-tax Act, 2025 was enacted to replace the six-decade-old Income-tax Act, 1961 with a simplified, consolidated and modernised direct-tax law (coming into effect from 1 April 2026), while GST 2.0 reforms (effective September 2025) simplified the indirect-tax regime, and the Jan Vishwas framework decriminalised numerous minor offences in commercial laws. These represent major revamps of tax and commercial legislation. However, a complete overhaul of all economic and commercial legislations, as pledged, is a broader, continuing exercise. Partial (strong action).
