Notification No. 1873

United News of India as a news agency set up in India solely for collection and distribution of news notified under section 10

What this is

Notification No. 1873 was published on 31 March 1997. Its subject is United News of India as a news agency set up in India solely for collection and distribution of news 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 clause (22B) of section 10 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), the Central Government hereby notifies United News of India as a news agency set up in India solely for collection and distribution of news, for the purposes of the said clause for the assessment years 1997-98, 1998-99 and 1999-2000

[Notification No. 10383/F. No. 176/26/997-ITA-I]

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.
