Lok Sabha passes Income tax amendment bill

The Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed the Taxation Laws (Second Amendment) Bill, which amends the Income-tax Act, 1961, and the Finance Act, 2016.

The bill, moved by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, was passed by voice vote amid a ruckus created by the opposition parties over the demonetisation.
