What this is

S.O. 585(E) was published on 13 July 1998. Its subject is Following equity shares as long-term specified securities specified under section 54EB.

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.

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-section (1) of section 54EB of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), the Central Board of Direct Taxes hereby specifies the following equity shares as long-term specified securities, for the purpose of said section, namely:---

Shares to be issued by Messrs. Energy Development Company Ltd., Bangalore, a public company registered under the Indian Companies Act, 1956, and having its registered office at 21-D, 1st Cross, 1st Floor, Jayalakshmi Puram, Mysore, within one year from the date of publication of this notification, of an amount not exceeding rupees one crore sixty lakhs only which are not transferable before seven years after their allotment.

(Sd.) Samar Bhadra, Under Secretary to the Government of India. [Notification No. 10645/F. No. 178/125/97-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.
