Section 35AC eligibility extension: Lepra Society projects renewed for a further three-year period, not valid for the elapsed financial year. The Central Government has notified extension of eligibility under Section 35AC for specified Lepra Society leprosy eradication and related health projects for a further three-year period beginning with financial year 2007-08, without change in approved project costs. The extension follows a recommendation by the National Committee that the projects are being properly executed. Because the 2007-08 year had already elapsed, the approval does not apply to funds collected during that year and no certificate for exemption of donations shall be issued for that financial year.
