Notification No. 85E-

A notification under section 80 of the Income-tax Act, 1961

What this is

Notification No. 85E- was published on 31 January 2001. Its subject is A notification under section 80 of the Income-tax Act, 1961.

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 Act	Now
s.80	s.121, s.138, s.139, s.140, s.141, s.142, s.143
s.295	s.533

The instrument, as the Board published it

The department’s archive carries only the enacting words of this amendment. The amending text itself — the words that were inserted, substituted or omitted — is not in the archive, which says so on the ground that it is already in the body of the instrument amended. So what is below is where the power came from, not what changed: for that, read the rule or the section as it stood after this date, or the Gazette copy.

In exercise of the powers conferred by section 295, read with sub-section (8A) of section 80-IB, of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), the Central Board of Direct Taxes hereby makes the following rules further to amend the Income-tax Rules, 1962, namely :---

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.
