Income-tax (13th Amendment) Rules, 2016

What this is

Notification No. 39/2016 [F.No. 142/29/2015-TPL] / SO 1923(E) was published on 31 May 2016. Its subject is Income-tax (13th Amendment) Rules, 2016.

This amends the Income-tax Rules. What it changes is the Rules, not the Act — and a rule can never take away what the section gives.

The text, read by machine from the scan

This is not the department’s typed text. The department published this one as a scanned image of a signed paper, so there is no text in the file to copy. What follows was read off that image by optical character recognition and is reproduced without correction — the mistakes you can see are the machine’s, and there may be others you cannot. It is here so the document can be found and read; it is not a substitute for the file, which is linked below. Do not quote from this page.

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.
