Notification No. 2228

Debentures issued by the State Electricity Boards specified under section 80L

What this is

Notification No. 2228 was published on 4 July 1974. Its subject is Debentures issued by the State Electricity Boards specified under section 80L.

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.

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 exercise of the powers conferred by clause (ii) of sub-section (1) of section 80L, and clause (iib) of the proviso to section 193, of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), and clause (xxiv) of sub-section (1) of section 5 of the Wealth-tax Act, 1957 (27 of 1957), the Central Government hereby specifies the debentures issued by the State Electricity Boards, constituted under section 5 of the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948 (54 of 1948), between the 1st April, 1974, and the 31st March, 1976, in pursuance of any scheme for raising resources in rural areas, for the purposes of the said clauses :

Provided that such debentures satisfy the following conditions namely ---

(i) they are not guaranteed by any Government as to the repayment of the principal or payment of interest ;

(ii) they are issued initially only to individuals ;

(iii) they are issued subject to the condition that for a period of one year from the date of issue, they cannot be transferred to any person other than an individual ; and

(iv) they carry interest at a rate not exceeding 8-1/2 per cent. per annum

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.
