Exemption under section 35AC: eligibility extended for Srinivasan Services Trust rural development projects with added village coverage. The Central Government specifies the Srinivasan Services Trust rural development scheme as an eligible project under Section 35AC and, on the National Committee's recommendation, amends the earlier notification to include eight additional villages-Kothakondapalli, Mookandapalli, Mathigiri, Belagondapalli, Bethlapalli, Padi, Vanagaram and Mappedu-in the approved project, addressing continuation of the project beyond six years and updating the territorial scope for exemption purposes.
