Ministry of Finance

What this is

Notification No. 81/2025 [F. No. 500/Misc./S10(23FE)/FT&TR-II] / S.O. 3135(E) was published on 11 July 2025. Its subject is Ministry of Finance.

What it does

In exercise of the power under sub-clause (iv) of clause (c) of Explanation 1 to clause (23FE) of section 10 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, the Central Government further amends its notification S.O. 1735(E) dated 4 May 2021 (Notification No. 46/2021). In the opening paragraph of that notification, the words "31st day of March, 2025" are substituted by "31st day of March, 2030", extending the outer date in that specified-person notification by five years.

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.

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.
