From taxability point of view, these are indifferent, however, the difference lies in the legislative powers..... The amendments in mega exemption can be brought out by the govt./CBEC by way of a notification... However, to make any amendment in negative list... The same needs to be approved by Parliament, since it is covered under the act(I.e.section 66D)...
