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 covers financial years 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18.
The approved cost stays at Rs. 245.00 lakh including a corpus fund of Rs. 100.00 lakh.
The previous extension by S.O. 2415(E) dated 9 October 2012 began with financial year 2012-13, so the three years it covered ended with 2014-15.

Where you meet it

In a donor's claim of deduction under section 35AC and the certificate issued by the Association for the year of payment.

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.
