The recently announced Interim Union Budget for 2024-2025 has brought forth a significant relief for taxpayers. Amidst the economic landscape, one particular measure stands out: the withdrawal of small, disputed direct tax demands. Let’s delve into the details of this commendable move.
Finance Minister Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman has taken a proactive step by addressing the burden of outstanding tax demands. The proposal aims to withdraw the following:
1. Direct Tax Demands up to Rs. 25,000: Pertaining to the period up to FY 2009-10.
2. Direct Tax Demands up to Rs. 10,000: For financial years 2010-11 to 2014-15.
These demands, often petty or non-verified, have lingered on the books for decades, causing anxiety to honest taxpayers and hindering subsequent year refunds. By removing them, the government intends to enhance ease of living and ease of doing business for citizens.

A transparent tax system fosters investor confidence. When investors perceive fairness and predictability, they are more likely to invest in India. This, in turn, fuels economic growth and attracts foreign direct investment (FDI).
