Questions about Section 1

What does Section 1 of the Finance Act deal with?

Section 1 of the Finance Act is headed "Short title and commencement". FINANCE ACT, 2022 NO. 6 OF 2022 An Act to give effect to the financial proposals of the Central Government for the financial year 2022-2023.

How do I find court cases under Section 1 of the Finance Act?

In judgments and charge sheets this section is written several ways, and each form finds a different set of orders. These search the full text of every order eCourtsIndia holds, best matches first: Finance Act 2022 1, section 1 Finance Act 2022, section 1 of the Finance Act. Each opens the full list of orders on eCourtsIndia, where it can be narrowed by court, year and outcome.

What should I read with Section 1 of the Finance Act, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 2 (Income-tax), section 85 (Substitution of new section for section 285B), section 100 (Amendment of section 16), section 114 (Amendment of section 168), so none of them can safely be read on its own.

When was the Finance Act enacted?

Finance Act was enacted in 2022 as Act 6 of 2022. India Code records no commencement date for it. It is in force as at the date shown on this page.
