The provisions it speaks to

The department publishes this one only as a PDF, so the words below were read out of that PDF by machine. That reading can carry its own mistakes — a misread number, a broken line. Check the signed document before you rely on a figure in it.

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.

What to watch

The extension runs for three years commencing with financial year 2015-16, that is 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18.
The approved cost stays at Rs. 71.18 crore, to which it had been enhanced by S.O. 3157(E) dated 17 October 2013.
The project has been specified in an unbroken chain since S.O. 258(E) dated 22 March 2001 and is recorded as likely to extend beyond fifteen years.
The earlier notifications ran first by assessment year and later by financial year, so the period covered by any one extension must be read from the notification granting it.

Where you meet it

In the deduction claimed by a donor under section 35AC in the return of income for financial years 2015-16 to 2017-18, and in the certificate the Ashram issues to donors.

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.
