Amendment of the Income-tax Rules under section 295 of the Income-tax Act, 1961
Notification: 105 Date of Issue : 7/5/2002 was published on 7 May 2002. Its subject is Amendment of the Income-tax Rules under section 295 of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
This amends the Income-tax Rules. What it changes is the Rules, not the Act — and a rule can never take away what the section gives.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 295 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, makes the Income-tax (Sixth Amendment) Rules, 2002, amending the Income-tax Rules, 1962. In rule 11K, in clause (i), after item (r) a new item (s) is inserted reading "relief and rehabilitation of handicapped individuals". The insertion adds that activity to the list in clause (i) of rule 11K.
