What this is

Notification No. 271/2015 [F.No.V.27015/4/2015-SO (NAT.COM)] /SO 3445(E) was published on 17 December 2015. Its subject is New Delhi, the 17th December, 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 notifies the rural development project at Vinaypuram, District Bhilwara, Rajasthan, carried out by Anuvrat Gram Bharti Sansthan, as an eligible project or scheme for a further period of three years beginning with the financial year 2015-16, that is 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18.

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.

What to watch

Where you meet it

In a donor's return and assessment claiming deduction under section 35AC for a contribution to this project, and in the certificate the sansthan issues.

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.
