Notification No. F71

Amendment of the Income-tax Rules under section 255 of the Income-tax Act, 1961

What this is

Notification No. F71 was published on 20 February 1982. Its subject is Amendment of the Income-tax Rules under section 255 of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

This amends the Income-tax Rules. What it changes is the Rules, not the Act — and a rule can never take away what the section gives.

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 department’s archive carries only the enacting words of this amendment. The amending text itself — the words that were inserted, substituted or omitted — is not in the archive, which says so on the ground that it is already in the body of the instrument amended. So what is below is where the power came from, not what changed: for that, read the rule or the section as it stood after this date, or the Gazette copy.

In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (5) of section 255 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal hereby makes the following rules further to amend the Income-tax (Appellate Tribunal) Rules, 1963 :---

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.
