Notification No. 6/2026

Order under clause iia of sub section 1 of section 35 of the income tax act 1961 read with rule 5F of the income tax rules 1962

What this is

Notification No. 6/2026 was published on 12 May 2026. Its subject is Order under clause iia of sub section 1 of section 35 of the income tax act 1961 read with rule 5F of the income tax rules 1962.

This grants an exemption or a relief under a provision that allows one. Read the conditions attached: an exemption notification is construed strictly, and a condition missed is the exemption lost.

What it does

The Principal Chief Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions), Delhi, exercising powers under clause (iia) of sub-section (1) of section 35 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 read with rule 5F of the Income-tax Rules, 1962, approves M/s Shree Hari Arogyam Foundation (PAN ABGCS1785A), Gandhinagar, Gujarat, as a company engaged in scientific research for the purposes of that clause. The approval runs for five assessment years, from assessment year 2026-27 to assessment year 2030-31.

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.

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.

From when

Assessment year 2026-27.

What to watch

Where you meet it

In a donor's return of income where a deduction under section 35(1)(iia) is claimed for a sum paid to the company, and in the company's own compliance under rule 5F.

What it names

Rules it names. Rule 5F 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.
