Lok Sabha sent the Bill to the committee on the request of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman after she introduced it in the House in the first half of Parliament's Budget Session.
Sitharaman had said the new I-T Bill will carry forward the spirit of «Nyaya» (justice) based on the concept of «trust first, scrutinise later».
The Bill seeks to replace terminologies such as «assessment year» and «previous year» with the easier-to-understand «tax year» as part of a move to simplify language while removing provisos and explanations.
Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla had constituted the 31-member Select Committee on February 14.
