Section 4

Circulars and notifications on section 4

13 circulars and 13 notifications on what is now Charge of Income-tax. 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 4 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.

Read the latest one first, then work backwards.
