Notification No. 147/2015 [F.No.V. 27015/1/2015-SO (NAT.COM)]/SO 1576(E)

New Delhi, the 15th June, 2015

What this is

Notification No. 147/2015 [F.No.V. 27015/1/2015-SO (NAT.COM)]/SO 1576(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 amends its notification S.O. 1860(E) dated 11 August 2011 in respect of the project "Expansion / Renovation of already running Hospital and Healthcare centres / programs for rural poor" carried out by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Vaidyakiya Pratisthan, Aurangabad, notified at serial number 9. In the Table against that serial number, in column (4) — the maximum amount of cost to be allowed as deduction under section 35AC — "Rs. 13.81 crore" is substituted by "Rs. 20.00 crore". The recitals note that the project, originally notified for three years ending with financial year 2013-14, had been extended by S.O. 1932(E) dated 31 July 2014 for three years ending with financial year 2016-17.

Why it was issued

The recitals record that the project cost is likely to rise from Rs. 13.81 crore to Rs. 20.00 crore and that the National Committee for Promotion of Social and Economic Welfare, satisfied that the project is being executed properly, recommended under sub-rule (5) of rule 11M of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 that the project cost be amended accordingly.

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.

From when

15 June 2015, the date of the notification.

What to watch

Where you meet it

In a donor's claim to deduction under section 35AC and the certificate issued by the Pratisthan, where the aggregate claimed against the project is tested against the notified ceiling.

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.
