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 43/2026 confirms that the Indian Rubber Materials Research Institute is now an approved research association for Income Tax purposes. This status allows the institute to receive donations that qualify for tax deductions under the Income-tax Act.

What has changed

How it worked before

Previously, the institute did not hold this specific government approval for scientific research under section 35(1)(ii), which covers tax-deductible research donations. Donors contributing to the institute could not claim these specific tax benefits on their annual tax filings.

What has changed

The government has officially recognized the institute as a research association under section 35(1)(ii) of the Income-tax Act, which governs tax-deductible research funding. This approval is valid for the assessment years 2026-27 through 2030-31, meaning donors can claim tax breaks for their contributions during this period.

Who this affects

This affects the Indian Rubber Materials Research Institute and individuals or businesses who donate money to the institute for scientific research.

What you should do

The institute must file Form 10BD, a statement of donations received, by May 31st of each year. They must also issue Form 10BE, a certificate of donation, to every donor so those donors can claim their tax deductions.

Does this tax change apply to me?

It applies to you only if you have donated or plan to donate money to the Indian Rubber Materials Research Institute. If you are a donor, you can now claim a tax deduction for these contributions for the specified assessment years.

What do I need to file to get the tax benefit?

You do not need to file a new form yourself, but you must ensure you receive Form 10BE from the institute. This certificate serves as proof of your donation, which you will need when preparing your income tax return.

What happens if the institute does not give me Form 10BE?

The institute is legally required to issue Form 10BE to all donors under the new rules. If you do not receive it, you should contact the institute directly to request your certificate so you can claim your tax deduction.

From when can I claim this tax deduction?

You can claim this deduction for donations made during the assessment years 2026-27 through 2030-31. Ensure your donation records align with these specific years to avoid issues with your tax filing.
