What this is

Notification No.137/2015 [F.No.V.27015/1/2015-SO(NAT.COM)] / SO 1483(E) was published on 4 June 2015. Its subject is Section 35AC, read with Explanation (b) thereto, of the Income-tax Act, 1961 - Eligible Projects or Schemes, Expenditure on - Notified Eligible Projects or Schemes - Andh Kalyan Kendra, Ahmedabad.

What it does

The Central Government, under sub-section (1) read with clause (b) of the Explanation to section 35AC of the Income-tax Act, 1961, notifies the project "Construction, equipments, furnishing and running of Andh Kalyan Kendra at Village Ranip, District Ahmedabad" carried out by Andh Kalyan Kendra, 20, Navroop Colony, Shanti Nagar, Ashram Road, Ahmedabad - 380013, for a further period of three years beginning with financial year 2014-15, that is 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17, without any change in the approved cost of Rs. 105.97 lakh. It directs that as financial year 2014-15 has lapsed, no certificate under section 35AC shall be issued for that year. The project was first notified at serial number 15 of S.O. 193(E) dated 14 March 1996 and has been extended five times since, the last extension ending with financial year 2013-14.

Why it was issued

The project was likely to extend beyond seventeen years and the National Committee for the Promotion of Social and Economic Welfare, satisfied that it was being executed properly, recommended a further period of three years under sub-rule (5) of rule 11M of the Income-tax Rules, 1962.

Who it reaches

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.

What it changes

The rule numbers are the 1962 Rules’ own, as the notification names them. The right-hand column is the department’s own mapping into the Income-tax Rules, 2026, which renumbered nearly everything.

What to watch

Where you meet it

In a donor's return claiming deduction under section 35AC, where the certificate for the year of payment must be produced.

What it names

Rules it names. Rule 11M 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.

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.
