What this is

Notification No. 17/2022 [F. No. 370142/14/2022-TPL] / GSR 229(E) was published on 29 March 2022. Its subject is Income-tax (Third Amendment) Rules, 2022.

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, as the department published it

Read from the department’s own PDF, linked below, and reproduced without editing. Line breaks and spacing are ours; the words are not. The Hindi of the bilingual gazette is not reproduced: these files use a legacy Devanagari font that does not survive extraction, and a garbled transliteration would be worse than none. It is in the department’s file. For anything you rely on, read the file itself.

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.
