15 January 2016 This situation has been mentioned in the section itself.
.
In a case where the provisions has not been made for charging the Income Tax in respect for that assessment year
or
the proposed provisions are contained in the Bill which is pending before the Parliament.

15 January 2016 sir,so that would mean that for instance A.Y 2016-17,FINANCE ACT 2015 will apply for all cases and finance bill 2016(will become act after 1/4/16) can be applied for the benefit of the assessee in respect of those cases where amendments are made in finance bill 2016

15 January 2016 I would like to further add as-
and due to any reason Finance Bill 2016 can not be passed by the Parliament, then the provisions of FA 2015 will remain in force for the AY starting from 1-4-2017.
