However, companies pay the same at the rate of 15%. To provide a level playing field between co-operative societies and companies, It is proposed to reduce this rate for the cooperative societies also to 15%..<\/li><li>It is proposed to reduce <strong><em>surcharge on cooperative societies<\/em><\/strong> to 7% from 12%, for those whose income is between Rs 1 crore and Rs 10 crore.<\/li><li>In an effort to establish a globally competitive business environment for certain domestic companies, a concessional tax regime of 15 per cent tax was introduced by government for newly incorporated domestic manufacturing companies. It is proposed to extend the last date for commencement of manufacturing or production under <strong><em>section 115BAB<\/em><\/strong> by one year i.e. from 31st March, 2023 to 31st March, 2024.<\/li><li>Deduction for<strong><em> employer contribution to NPS<\/em><\/strong> increased to 14% from 10% earlier for State govt employees on par with central govt employees<\/li><li>There has been a phenomenal increase in transactions in <strong><em>virtual digital assets<\/em><\/strong> (like crypto currencies). The magnitude and frequency of these transactions have made it imperative to provide for a specific tax regime. Accordingly, for the taxation of virtual digital assets, It is proposed to provide that any income from transfer of any virtual digital asset shall be taxed at the rate of 30 per cent. \u00b7 No deduction in respect of any expenditure or allowance shall be allowed while computing such income except cost of acquisition. Further, loss from transfer of virtual digital asset cannot be set off against any other income. \u00b7 Further, in order to capture the transaction details, I also propose to provide for TDS on payment made in relation to transfer of virtual digital asset at the rate of 1 per cent of such consideration above a monetary threshold. \u00b7 Gift of virtual digital asset is also proposed to be taxed in the hands of the recipient.<\/li><li>The present law provides for <strong><em>deduction to the parent or guardian<\/em><\/strong> only if the lump sum payment or annuity is available to the differently abled person on the death of the subscriber i.e. parent or guardian.

The members in the consortium are generally companies. In such cases, the income of these AOPs has to suffer a graded surcharge upto 37 per cent, which is a lot more than the surcharge on the individual companies. Accordingly, It is propose to cap the <strong><em>Surcharge of these AOP\u2019s at 15 per cent<\/em><\/strong>.<\/li><li>The long-term capital gains on listed equity shares, units etc. are liable to <strong>maximum surcharge of 15<\/strong> per cent, while the other long term capital gains are subjected to a graded surcharge which goes upto 37 per cent.
