What this is

Notification No. 160/2015 [F.No.V. 27015/1/2015-SO (NAT.COM)]/SO 1589(E) was published on 15 June 2015. Its subject is ¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 23.

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 the project of the John Daycare and Boarding for Senior Citizens Association, South Extension Part-II, New Delhi, notified at serial number 2 of S.O. 708(E) dated 25 May 2005 for three years beginning with financial year 2005-06 and extended by S.O. 2377(E) dated 3 October 2008 and again by S.O. 1861(E) dated 11 August 2011 for three years ending with financial year 2013-14. It is now notified, without any change in the approved cost of Rs. 1.75 crore, for a further three years commencing with financial year 2014-15, namely 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17, but the notification records that since financial year 2014-15 has already lapsed, no certificate under section 35AC will be issued for that year.

Why it was issued

The recitals record that the project is likely to extend beyond nine 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 extended by a further three years.

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.

The instrument, as the Board published it

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.

From when

Financial year 2014-15 in terms, running through 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17, subject to the notification's own statement that no certificate will issue for 2014-15.

What to watch

Where you meet it

In a donor's claim to deduction under section 35AC supported by the Association's certificate, where the year of the donation decides whether a certificate could issue at all.

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.
