Its subject is Section 35AC, read with Explanation (b) thereto, of the Income-tax Act, 1961 - Eligible Projects or Schemes, Expenditure on - Notified Eligible Projects or Schemes - Sankara EYE Hospital, Tamilnadu.

What it does

The Central Government, under sub-section (1) read with clause (b) of the Explanation to section 35AC of the Income-tax Act, 1961, notifies the project "Kannoli - Vision Saver" carried out by Sankara Eye Hospital, No. 1, Third Cross Street, Sri Sankara Nagar, Pammal, Kanchipuram district, Chennai 600075, Tamilnadu, as an eligible project or scheme for a further period of three years commencing with financial year 2014-15, that is 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17. It also amends notification S.O. 2370(E) dated 3 October 2008 so that, in the Table against serial number 4, column (3) extends the area of work to the State of Odisha and column (4) substitutes "Rs. 20 crore including a corpus fund of Rs. 15 crore" for "Rs. 12.25 crore including a corpus fund of Rs. 10 crore".

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 claiming deduction under section 35AC and in the certificate issued by the hospital 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.
