Tax-deduction eligibility for Indian Red Cross Society projects extended, preserving approved project cost and scope for further term. The Central Government, under Section 35AC, notifies the Indian Red Cross Society, Andhra Pradesh scheme-comprising blood bank upgrades, an AYUSH hospital with research centre, medicine banks across 23 districts, senior citizens' cottages, and an administrative block-as an eligible project for tax-deduction purposes for a further three-year period, without any change in the previously approved project cost, following the National Committee's recommendation that the project is being executed properly.
