International Day for Judicial Well-being

On 25 July each year, the world now observes the International Day for Judicial Well-being, following its recognition by the United Nations General Assembly in March 2025.

Income Tax Day

India celebrated Income Tax Day, marking the 166th anniversary of the introduction of income tax in the country. Celebrated every year on July 24, the day acknowledges the evolution of India's tax system and its pivotal role in nation-building.
Income tax was first introduced in India on this day in 1860 by British economist Sir James Wilson to counter the financial strain caused by the First War of Independence in 1857. The framework laid then eventually culminated in the Income Tax Act of 1922 and later the comprehensive Income Tax Act of 1961, which still governs the taxation system in the country today.
