The provisions it speaks to

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.

Whereas by Notification No. S.O. 578(E), dated 31st July, 1992, issued under clause (b) of the Explanation to section 35AC of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), the Central Government had specified at serial number 3, the (a) Slum Re-housing; (b) Rural Housing; (c) School building reconstruction ; and (d) Training and self-employment of handicapped poor (primarily blind) in rural and urban areas as eligible projects or schemes for a period of three assessment years commencing from the assessment year 1993-94 ;

And whereas the said project or scheme is likely to extend beyond three years ;

And whereas the National Committee has, being satisfied that the said projects or schemes are being executed properly, made a further recommendation under sub-rule (5) of rule 11M of the Income-tax Rules, 1962, for specifying the said projects or schemes for a further period of three years ;

Now, therefore, the Central Government in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (b) of the Explanation to section 35AC of the Income-tax Act, 1961, hereby specifies the (a) slum re-housing in the slums of Rambagan, Calcutta, at an estimated cost of Rs. 50 lakhs ; (b) rural housing in 2,000 villages of the eleven districts of West Bengal at an estimated cost of Rs. 235 lakhs ; (c) school building reconstruction in eleven districts of West Bengal at an estimated cost of Rs. 30 lakhs, and (d) training and self-employment for handicapped poor (primarily blind) in rural and urban areas of Belur Math, West Bengal, at an estimated cost of Rs. 95 lakhs as eligible projects of schemes for a further period of three assessment years commencing from the assessment year 1996-97.

What it names

Rules it names. Rule 11M of the Income-tax Rules, 1962. The 1962 Rules were replaced by the Income-tax Rules, 2026, which renumbered nearly everything: a rule number quoted here almost never means the same rule today.

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.
