Section 35AC of the Income-tax Act, 1961 - Eligible Projects or Schemes, Expenditure on - Notified Eligible Projects or Schemes
Notification No.263/2015 [F.No.V.27015/3/2015-SO(NAT.COM)] / SO 3073(E) was published on 10 November 2015. Its subject is Section 35AC of the Income-tax Act, 1961 - Eligible Projects or Schemes, Expenditure on - Notified Eligible Projects or Schemes.
Acting 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 the Table to that notification, against serial number 3, in column (4) - the maximum amount of cost to be allowed as deduction under section 35AC - the figure "Rs. 14.72 crore including Rs. 2.00 crore as a corpus fund" is substituted by "Rs. 40.84 crore including Rs. 2 crore as a corpus fund". The project is the extension project for expansion and maintenance of present activities in vocational courses and the girls hostel vocational training course carried out by Jamia Islamia Ishaatul Uloom, Akalkuwa, District Nandurbar, Maharashtra. Only the approved cost is altered; the period already extended up to financial year 2016-17 is untouched.
The project cost was likely to rise from Rs. 14.72 crore to Rs. 40.84 crore, and the National Committee for Promotion of Social and Economic Welfare, satisfied that the project was being executed properly, recommended the amendment under sub-rule (5) of rule 11M of the Income-tax Rules, 1962.

In a donor's return of income claiming deduction under section 35AC, and in the certificate issued by the institution for the year of payment.
A donor who paid Rs. 5 crore to the project in financial year 2015-16 could earlier be met with the objection that the notified ceiling of Rs. 14.72 crore was already exhausted by other donors; after this substitution the ceiling for the project is Rs. 40.84 crore, and the claim is tested against that higher figure.
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.
