Tax deduction under section 35AC: notification extends eligibility and increases approved project cost for kidney disease awareness programme. The Central Government, on the National Committee's recommendation under the Income-tax Rules, has notified a further three-year extension of the India Renal Foundation's 'Prevention of kidney diseases through awareness programme' as an eligible project under section 35AC, and has amended the previously approved maximum project cost to a higher consolidated amount that includes recurring expenses for the extended period and the cost of a vehicle, thereby updating the allowable deduction in the original notification's table.
