Union Budget of July 2024 was when the promise was made to the nation that we would come up with something simpler and that is where the new Act has come from.
The work was completed in a record six months, involving nearly 75,000 person-hours dedicated by income tax officials to get this Act ready. Once the Union Cabinet cleared it, we went to Parliament to table it. It was then sent to a Select Committee of 31 Members of Parliament from across the political spectrum, headed by Shri Baijayant Panda (@PandaJay). I would like to express my thanks to him.
In record time, with an intense number of meetings and by bringing in stakeholders from all over, the Select Committee did extraordinary work in reviewing the bill before it was brought back to Parliament, matching the efforts of the officers involved in drafting the law.
The Committee recommended 196 different points, of which 184 were accepted and incorporated into the Act before it was taken up for discussion and passing.
This clearly underlines the policy intent. Extensive consultation in the making of the law, both during its drafting and through parliamentarians in the Select Committee. A high level of collaboration and commitment resulted in this Act, which was eventually passed.

Sharing something very close to my heart.
This short film is a glimpse into my journey with Ikat.
It’s not just about fabric. It’s about memory, tradition, and giving back to the quiet masters behind the loom.

This is not acceptable. I strongly condemn this paid propaganda. @sardesairajdeep should publish a public apology for such an irresponsible statement & hurting Odia sentiment.
For @sardesairajdeep ji's knowledge : Ratha Jatra a global event conducted at thousands of destinations with pride... but no one ever dared to propagate it in this way.

Honored to meet the former Chief Justice of India , Shri. Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud ji at OTV’s annual conclave, Foresight’25. His contributions to the judiciary have shaped the very fabric of our legal system. His wisdom and commitment to justice continue to inspire generations.
1/ At TEDx IIM Sambalpur, I spoke about ‘Anagat – The Unmanifested Future’ and why no one has it all mapped out. The world is changing fast, and certainty is a luxury we no longer have. But maybe it’s a good thing.

2/ What if we stopped waiting for clarity and started embracing the process?
A huge thank you to IIM Sambalpur, Prof. Mahadeo Jaiswal & Dr. Sonu Jaiswal, and the amazing student team for making this event special.
