What this is

Notification No. 155/2025 [F. No. CB/362/2025-O/o Addl. DIT 6 CPC Bengaluru-187/10/2024-ITA-I] /SO 4901(E) was published on 27 October 2025. Its subject is [भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)] भारत का रािपत्र : असाधारण 3.

What it does

Under sub-sections (1) and (2) of section 120 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, the Central Board of Direct Taxes directs that the Commissioner of Income-tax, Centralized Processing Centre, Bengaluru, shall exercise concurrent powers to rectify under section 154 mistakes apparent from the record — including a refund already issued, non-consideration of pre-paid tax credit, non-consideration of a relief eligible, or the calculation of interest under section 244A — where an order under the Act has resulted in an error in the computation of tax, refund or demand, and to issue a notice of demand under section 156 in such cases. The jurisdiction given is all cases where the orders have been passed through the interface between the Assessing Officer and the Centralized Processing Centre. The Commissioner is authorised to issue written orders for the exercise of these powers by subordinate Additional or Joint Commissioners, who may in turn authorise Assessing Officers subordinate to them.

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.

The instrument, as the Board published it

The department publishes this one only as a PDF, so the words below were read out of that PDF by machine. That reading can carry its own mistakes — a misread number, a broken line. Check the signed document before you rely on a figure in it.

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.
