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 Income-tax (Eighth Amendment) Rules, 2006 insert a new rule 16CC in Part IV of the Income-tax Rules, 1962, after rule 16C, prescribing that the report of audit of the accounts of a fund, trust or institution, or any university or other educational institution, or any hospital or other medical institution, which is required to be furnished under the tenth proviso to clause (23C) of section 10, shall be in Form No. 10BB. In Appendix II, Form No. 10BB is inserted after Form No. 10BA. The form is the auditor's report covering the balance sheet and the income and expenditure or profit and loss account, with certificates that the accounts agree with the books of the head office and branches, that proper books have been kept, and that the accounts give a true and fair view. The Notes require the report to be given by a chartered accountant within the meaning of the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949, or a person entitled under sub-section (2) of section 226 of the Companies Act, 1956 to be appointed auditor of a company in a State, and require reasons to be stated wherever a matter is answered in the negative or with a qualification. The Annexure is a statement of particulars: Part A calls for the name, address, Permanent Account Number, assessment year, the sub-clause of section 10(23C) under which exemption is sought and the number and date of the notification or approval; Part B deals with the application of income for charitable, religious, educational or philanthropic purposes, calling for the nature of the activity, the total income of the previous year, the amount applied during the year wholly and exclusively to the objects, and the amount accumulated for such application to the extent it does not exceed 15 per cent of the income of that year.

A reader meets this where an institution claiming exemption under clause (23C) of section 10 files its audit report in Form No. 10BB with the return, and in the assessment that works from it.
Forms it names. Form No. 10BA, Form No. 10BB
Rules it names. Rule 16C, 16CC of the Income-tax Rules, 1962. The 1962 Rules were replaced by the Income-tax Rules, 2026, which renumbered nearly everything: a rule number quoted here almost never means the same rule today.
