This Ministry of Finance notification, issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes on July 11, 2025, amends a previous income tax notification from April 22, 2021. The amendment, made under the powers of sub-clause (iv) of clause (c) of Explanation 1 to clause (23FE) of section 10 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, specifically extends a significant date. The original notification’s “31st day of March, 2025” has been replaced with “31st day of March, 2030“. This change impacts provisions related to income tax exemptions, effectively extending the period for which certain income will be exempt from tax, as outlined in the referenced section of the Income-tax Act. The amendment applies retroactively from April 1, 2025.
