This research explores the constitutional and legislative architecture that underpins income taxation in India, emphasizing the evolving dual tax regime introduced by recent Finance Acts. Grounded in the Indian Constitution particularly Articles 14, 246, and 265 this framework delineates the division of taxing powers between the Union and State governments and affirms the principle that taxation must be backed by the authority of law. The study traces the historical evolution of India's income tax system, from ancient and colonial precedents to the transformative enactment of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Special attention is given to the legal basis, rationale, and implications of introducing Section 115BAC, which allows taxpayers to choose between the traditional exemption-based regime and a simplified concessional-rate regime. By analyzing judicial precedents, delegated legislation, and amendments from the Finance Acts of 2020 to 2025, the study highlights the government's intent to simplify compliance, broaden the tax base, and foster voluntary adherence, all while aligning with constitutional mandates. This work underscores the dynamic interplay between law, policy, and fiscal governance in shaping India's contemporary income tax regime.
