|
|
—In the Fourth Schedule to the Income-tax Act, in Part A, in rule 3, in sub-rule (1), in the first proviso, for the figures, letters and words "31st day of March, 2008", the figures, letters and words "31st day of March, 2009" shall be substituted.
Clause 55 of the Bill seeks to amend Part A of the Fourth Schedule to the Income-tax Act, which relates to recognised provident funds.
Rule 3 in Part A of the Fourth Schedule provides that the Chief Commissioner or Commissioner may accord recognition to any provident fund which in his opinion satisfies the conditions prescribed in rule 4 and the rules made by the Board in this behalf.
The proviso to sub-rule (1) of the said rule 3 provides that in a case where recognition has been accorded to any provident fund on or before 31st March, 2006, and such provident fund does not satisfy the conditions set out in clause (ea) of rule 4, and any other conditions which the Board may, by rules specify in this behalf, the recognition to such fund shall be withdrawn, if such fund does not satisfy such conditions on or before 31st March, 2008.
It is proposed to amend the said proviso to sub-rule (1), so as to extend the said time limit by one more year i.e., from 31st March, 2008 to 31st March, 2009.
This amendment will take effect from 1st April, 2008.
