This is good. People will be encouraged to save in such schemes for their old days.
I think this exemptions are presently available by way of chapter VI deductions under Income Tax Act. So is not much change I see compared to present tax structure.
Jayen- Most of the provisions contemplated in new tax code like exemptions and deductions would already be there. The new tax code only is an attempt to rewrite the tax law as the Income Tax 1961 is very old.
@Jayen,

These provisions are already there but their continuance was in doubt.The proposed change removes that.
Thanks for clarifying this one chinmoy. I was not aware about this confusion. :)
