The Income-tax Act 2025, originating as the Income Tax Bill 2025 under the Modi third-term government, replaces and recodifies the Income-tax Act 1961. It consolidates direct-tax law, reorganises provisions around the new concessional tax regime, rationalises deductions and definitions, and modernises compliance, assessment, and dispute-management language. The reform is positioned by the government as a plain-language codification and simplification exercise rather than a standalone rate-cut statute, but it hardens the post-2020 shift toward a lower-deduction, lower-rate personal-tax regime.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
