Section 123

Circulars and notifications on section 123

17 circulars and 24 notifications on what is now Deduction for life insurance premia, deferred annuity, contributions to provident fund, etc. Every one of them was issued under the Income-tax Act, 1961. They appear here because the department’s own concordance carries the provision each one names to section 123 of the Income-tax Act, 2025 — which is an inference about where the ground is now covered, not a holding that the instrument still bites.

What this page does not tell you. It does not tell you which of these is still operative. A circular can be withdrawn by a later one without either saying so on its face, and a notification can be superseded by the amendment of the provision it was made under. Read the latest one first, then work backwards.
