Annuity deposit timing revised: deposit during the prior financial year or later with tax officer approval under a scheme. Amendment revises timing and method for making an annuity deposit: earlier assessment-year deposits continue under the advance-deposit provisions, while for later assessment years a depositor may pay during the financial year immediately preceding the assessment year in one sum or by instalments at rates fixed in the annual Finance Act; the Income-tax Officer may, under a scheme and subject to conditions, permit deposits after that financial year, which shall be deemed annuity deposits for the relevant assessment year.
