New Delhi, the 15th June, 2015

What this is

Notification No. 145/2015 [F.No.V. 27015/1/2015-SO (NAT.COM)]/SO 1575(E) was published on 15 June 2015. Its subject is New Delhi, the 15th June, 2015.

What it does

Under sub-section (1) read with clause (b) of the Explanation to section 35AC of the Income-tax Act, 1961, the Central Government extends the notification of an eligible project. The project comprising the Bhavana Chandak (Falor) MAHA NAB School for the Blind, the NAB Nice Vijay Merchant Memorial Workshop-cum-Training Centre for the Blind, the MAHA-NAB Training Centre, the Deaf Blind and Multiple Disability Centre and the Deaf Blind and Multiple Disability Vocational Training Centre, carried out by the National Association for Blind at Satpur, Nashik, Maharashtra, had been notified at serial number 6 of S.O. 2366(E) dated 4 October 2012 at an estimated cost of Rs. 5.01 crore including a corpus fund of Rs. 91 lakh for three years ending with financial year 2014-15. It is now notified, without any change in the approved cost, for a further three years commencing with financial year 2015-16, namely 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18.

Why it was issued

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

Who it reaches

National Association for Blind, Nashik
donors claiming deduction under section 35AC for contributions to the project
the National Committee for Promotion of Social and Economic Welfare
assessing officers examining section 35AC claims

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.

Rule of the 1962 Rules	Now, in the 2026 Rules
Rule 11M	no counterpart recorded

From when

Financial year 2015-16, the extension running through 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18.

What to watch

The extension runs for the three financial years 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18, following on from the period that ended with 2014-15.
The approved cost stays at Rs. 5.01 crore including a corpus fund of Rs. 91 lakh, unchanged for the extended period.
All five named centres are covered as one project or scheme, as they were in the original notification at serial number 6.
The notification carries no separate commencement clause; it is dated 15 June 2015 and covers financial years from 2015-16.

Where you meet it

In a donor's claim to deduction under section 35AC and the certificate issued by the Association in support of it, and in the Association's own reporting on the notified project.

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.
