Extension of eligible project status under the Income-tax Act: Abhaya Ashraya scheme renewed for three years; certificate withheld for elapsed year. The Central Government has renewed notification of Abhaya Ashraya's welfare scheme as an eligible project under the Income-tax Act, retaining the approved project cost unchanged, pursuant to the National Committee's recommendation that the project is properly executed. The renewal covers a further three financial years but directs that no certificate shall be issued for the first of those years because it had already elapsed at the time of notification.
