Notification 1 February 1996

Notification No. 394

Two lakhs and fifty thousand rupees as the limit for all the three purposes mentioned in that sub-clause in relation to the employ specified under section 10

What this is

Notification No. 394 was published on 1 February 1996. Its subject is Two lakhs and fifty thousand rupees as the limit for all the three purposes mentioned in that sub-clause in relation to the employ specified 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

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 sub-clause (iii) of clause (10) of section 10 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), the Central Government, having regard to the maximum amount of any gratuity payable to its employees, hereby specifies two lakhs and fifty thousand rupees as the limit for all the three purposes mentioned in that sub-clause in relation to the employees, referred to therein, who retire or become incapacitated prior to such retirement or die on or after the 1st day of April, 1995, or whose employment is terminated on or after the said date.

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.
