Notification No. 613E

Following communities as the "minority communities notified under section 10

What this is

Notification No. 613E was published on 5 July 1995. Its subject is Following communities as the "minority communities notified under section 10.

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 ActNow
s.10s.11, s.19

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 Explanation to clause (26BB) of section 10 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), the Central Government hereby notifies the following communities as the "minority communities" for the purpose of the said section, namely :----

(1) Muslims

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.
