Document
Notification Notification No. 53/2026
Effective
Assessment year 2026-27

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 53/2026 confirms that the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission is exempt from paying income tax. This document exists to formally grant this tax-free status under the Income-tax Act, 1961.

What has changed

How it worked before

Previously, there was no specific notification under section 10(46A)(b) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, that granted this specific tax exemption to the Commission. This section of the law allows the government to declare certain regulatory bodies as tax-exempt.

What has changed

The government has officially notified the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission as an exempt entity starting from the assessment year 2026-27. An assessment year is the twelve-month period when you calculate and pay tax on the previous year's income.

Who this affects

This change applies exclusively to the Rajasthan Electricity Regulatory Commission. It does not affect individual taxpayers, private businesses, or other government departments.

What you should do

No action is required by the public or any other business entity. This is an administrative update regarding the tax status of a specific government commission.
