On September 20, 2019, Union Minister for Finance
& Corporate Affairs Smt Nirmala Sitaraman in a Press Conference in Goa notified that Taxation Laws(Amendment)
Ordinance 2019 was introduced to make certain amendments in the Income-tax Act 1961 and the Finance No.
Defence Minister Nirmala Sitaraman said in an interview to The Economic Times that the 36
Rafales to be bought now will be complemented with a decision to build more of them under licence later, for which the government has sought globally competitive proposals, but this is unconvincing in the context of the government's perceived unwillingness to answer all questions without ifs and buts.
