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 11/2026 confirms that the Karnataka State Rural Livelihood Promotion Society is exempt from paying income tax on specific types of earnings. This document exists to formally recognize the society's tax-free status for its government-funded activities.

What has changed

How it worked before

Previously, there was no specific notification granting this tax exemption to the Karnataka State Rural Livelihood Promotion Society. The organization was subject to standard tax rules on its income like any other entity.

What has changed

The government has now officially exempted the society from paying income tax on income from grants and bank interest under section 10(46), which allows tax-free status for specific government bodies. This applies to the assessment years 2024-25 through 2028-29, meaning the society does not owe tax on these specific funds for those periods.

Who this affects

This notification applies exclusively to the Karnataka State Rural Livelihood Promotion Society. It does not affect other businesses, non-profits, or individual taxpayers.

What you should do

The society must ensure it does not engage in any commercial activities, as the exemption only covers non-commercial income. Additionally, the society is required to file its annual return of income as mandated by section 139(4C), which covers the filing requirements for specific tax-exempt institutions.

Does this tax exemption apply to my business?

No, this notification is specific only to the Karnataka State Rural Livelihood Promotion Society. It does not change the tax rules for any other private business or individual.

What happens if the society starts a commercial activity?

The tax exemption is conditional and requires the society to avoid commercial activities. If the society begins earning money through commercial trade, it may lose this tax-free status.

Do I need to file any new forms because of this?

No, this does not change your personal filing requirements. The society itself must continue to file its annual return of income as required by law.

From when is this tax exemption effective?

This exemption covers the assessment years 2024-25, 2025-26, 2026-27, 2027-28, and 2028-29. An assessment year is the year you report income earned in the previous year.
