This page was written by Patron Accounting’s AI from the official release and reviewed before publishing. It explains the document in plain language. It is not the document itself. Where this page and the original differ, the original governs.

In short

Notification 1/2026 confirms that Inbar Holding RSC Limited is now a specified pension fund eligible for tax exemptions on certain Indian investments.

What has changed

How it worked before

Previously, there was no specific notification granting this tax-exempt status to this particular entity under the Income-tax Act.

What has changed

The government has officially recognized this entity as a pension fund, allowing it to earn tax-free income on eligible investments made between January 5, 2026, and March 31, 2030. To keep this benefit, the fund must follow strict rules regarding how it manages its money and reports its activities to the tax authorities.

Who this affects

This notification applies exclusively to Inbar Holding RSC Limited (PAN: AAGCI2029C). It does not apply to other foreign investors or general taxpayers.

What you should do

The entity must file annual income tax returns, submit Form 10BBB every quarter, and provide an annual compliance certificate in Form 10BBC. It must also maintain separate accounts for its Indian investments and ensure it does not participate in the daily management of the companies it invests in.

Does this tax exemption apply to my personal investments?

No, this notification is specific only to Inbar Holding RSC Limited. It does not change tax rules for individual taxpayers or other businesses.

What happens if the fund fails to follow these rules?

If the fund violates any of the listed conditions, it will lose its tax-exempt status. This means its investment income would become subject to standard income tax rules.

Is there a deadline for these filings?

The fund must submit investment details in Form 10BBB within one month after each quarter ends. Annual income tax returns must be filed by the standard due date set by the Income-tax Act.

Can the fund borrow money to make these investments?

No, the fund is strictly prohibited from taking any direct or indirect loans to fund its investments in India. It must use its own assets to qualify for the exemption.

Does this notification affect the day-to-day operations of the companies the fund invests in?

The fund is not allowed to participate in the daily operations of the companies it invests in. However, it is permitted to monitor its investment and appoint directors to protect its interests.
