Notification processing of tax exempt institutions streamlined: direct reporting to Director General and prescribed timelines established.

The Director General (Income tax Exemptions) is the central authority for processing petitions for notifications and approvals across specified categories of tax exempt institutions, with Rule 6 adding concurrence with the Secretary, DSIR for research notifications. CITs and Directors must send reports directly to the Director General (Calcutta) under allocated roles to reduce delays, observing a two month timeline; the Director General may obtain CCIT comments. Monthly progress reports in a prescribed proforma are to be sent to the Director General, who will consolidate and forward duplicate reports to the board by the twentieth.
