The honorarium has been raised from INR 50,000 to INR 75,000 per month through an amendment to notification no. 03/01/2021-4AR dated May 26, 2021.

The Commission serves as the primary body for initiating law reforms in the state. Both part-time and full-time members are responsible for defining specific topics and references for the Commission’s work, the statement added.

Earlier, the Haryana government introduced a one-time tax settlement scheme aimed at providing tax relief and waiving penalties for small traders.

Under the scheme, taxpayers with disputed taxes below INR 10 lakh will pay 40 per cent of the outstanding amount, while those with disputes between INR 10 lakh and INR 10 crore will be required to pay 50 per cent. For disputes exceeding INR 10 crore, taxpayers must pay the full outstanding amount.

The scheme, which includes tax exemptions and penalty waivers, will come into effect on April 7, the chief minister announced.
