Notification No. 983

Notification of a person, body or fund under section 80G of the Income-tax Act, 1961

What this is

Notification No. 983 was published on 14 February 1978. Its subject is Notification of a person, body or fund under section 80G of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

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

The instrument, as the Board published it

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.
