Notification No. 2431

Public Provident Fund established under the Public Provident Fund Scheme notified under section 80C

What this is

Notification No. 2431 was published on 2 July 1968. Its subject is Public Provident Fund established under the Public Provident Fund Scheme notified under section 80C.

This notifies a named person, body, fund or instrument for the purpose of a provision. Nothing in it changes the provision itself.

The provisions it speaks to

Left, the provision of the Income-tax Act, 1961 as the instrument itself names it. Right, the section of the Income-tax Act, 2025 that the department’s own concordance maps it to — which is where the same ground is now covered.

Under the 1961 Act	Now
s.80C	s.2, s.123

The instrument, as the Board published it

The words below are the department’s own, reproduced from its published text. Where the department’s copy carried a publisher’s notes after the instrument, those are not reproduced.

In pursuance of sub-clause (iv) of clause (a) of sub-section (2) of section 80C of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), the Central Government hereby notifies the Public Provident Fund established under the Public Provident Fund Scheme, 1968, as a provident fund to which the said sub-clause shall apply

On the same provision

Other instruments in this library that name the same provision of the 1961 Act. They are not necessarily still operative, and a later one may have replaced an earlier one without saying so.

What a notification is. A notification is made under a power the Act itself gives, and within that power it is law — unlike a circular, which only binds the department. Its reach is the reach of the enabling provision and no wider, and the date it carries decides from when it works.
