Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This research paper analyzes tax exemptions in India, focusing on the necessity for reform and the challenges that arise. Tax exemption in India is a significant matter that should not be ignored and must be examined thoroughly; it plays a vital role in fostering social welfare, stimulating economic growth, and supporting specific sectors like education, agriculture, and various charitable organizations. However, the abuse of these exemptions has resulted in substantial revenue losses, tax evasion, and unequal treatment among individuals. This paper closely investigates the concept of tax exemption in India and assesses its socio-economic rationale, while also highlighting emerging challenges and advocating for comprehensive reforms. By drawing on both the legal framework and practical realities, this paper proposes recommendations for establishing a more equitable, less biased, and more effective system of tax exemptions to enhance societal well-being.
