In short
Notification 17/2026 confirms that the District Legal Service Authority in Faridabad is exempt from paying income tax on specific earnings. This document exists to clarify which parts of their income are not subject to tax under the Income-tax Act, the law governing income taxes.
What has changed
How it worked before
Previously, there was no specific notification exempting the income of the District Legal Service Authority, Faridabad from tax. This meant their income was potentially subject to standard tax rules applied to other entities.
What has changed
The government has now officially exempted specific income streams, such as grants, court-ordered amounts, recruitment fees, and bank interest, from income tax. This change applies retroactively and prospectively for the assessment years 2023-2024 through 2027-2028, which are the periods used to calculate tax.
Who this affects
This notification specifically affects the District Legal Service Authority, Faridabad. It does not apply to other legal service authorities or private businesses.
What you should do
The authority must ensure they do not engage in any commercial activity and that the nature of their income remains unchanged. They are also required to file their income tax returns as mandated by section 139(4C)(g), which is the rule for filing returns by certain exempt entities.
