The forms have been redesigned for simpler understanding and compliance for ordinary citizens, she said.

Sitharaman proposed to constitute a Joint Committee of Ministry of Corporate Affairs and Central Board of Direct Taxes for incorporating the requirements of Income Computation and Disclosure Standards (ICDS) in the Indian Accounting Standards (IndAS).

Separate accounting requirement based on ICDS will be done away with from the tax year 2027-28.
