The ongoing Budget Session will conclude on April 4

New Delhi:

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Friday constituted a 31-member Select Committee of the lower house to examine the Income Tax Bill.

To be headed by BJP’s Baijayant Panda, the panel is mandated to submit its report by the first day of the next session.

The ongoing Budget Session will conclude on April 4 and the Monsoon session could commence in the third or fourth week of July.

While introducing the Bill in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had urged Om Birla to refer the draft law to a Select Committee of the House.

The much-anticipated Bill will replace terminologies such as “assessment year” and “previous year” with the easier-to-understand “tax year” as part of a move to simplify language while removing provisos and explanations.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on April 30 alleged the Congress was spreading lies that the BJP intends to change the Constitution and end reservations if it returns to power for a third term. He also said the BJP is heading towards its goal of 400-plus Lok Sabha seats with the blessings and support of people.

“The Congress is spreading lies about the saffron party changing the constitution and ending reservations… We do not see voters as minority or majority; the BJP will win 12 of the 14 Lok Sabha seats in Assam,” he told a press conference in Guwahati.

“The BJP does not believe in reservations on the basis of religion… we are also in favour of implementing the Uniform Civil Code across the country,” the Union Home Minister said. He asserted that the party was getting a “very good response” from voters in southern India, too.
