Overview

  • A CBDT notification dated July 20 grants NOIDA an income-tax exemption under Section 10(46A) of the Income-tax Act from the 2024–25 assessment year.
  • The exemption applies solely to NOIDA’s income-tax liabilities and excludes all other statutory levies.
  • It will continue indefinitely as long as NOIDA remains constituted under the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Area Development Act, 1976 and carries out its specified public-development functions.
  • The NOIDA authority has also introduced three- to five-year waivers on residential property tax, commercial holding tax and utility fees in designated sectors to spur occupancy and investment.
  • Private businesses do not receive direct tax relief but may see indirect gains through improved roads, faster project approvals and expanded civic infrastructure.
