INTRODUCTION – In India, Income tax was introduced for the first time in 1860, by Sir James Wilson in order to meet the losses sustained by the Government on account of the Military Mutiny of 1857. Thereafter; several amendments were made in it from time to time. In 1886, a separate rule was passed.

This remained in force up to 1918, with various changes from time to time. In 1918, a new deed was passed and again it was replaced by another new pretence which was passed in 1922. This remained in force up to the assessment year 1961-62 with numerous alterations.
