Amendment of section 35D.

12. In section 35D of the Income-tax Act, in sub-section (2), in clause (a), for the proviso, the following proviso shall be substituted with effect from the 1st day of April, 2024, namely:–

Notes on Clauses:

Clause 12 of the Bill seeks to amend section 35D of the Income-tax Act relating to amortisation of certain preliminary expenses.

Clause (a) of sub-section (2) of the said section includes expenditure in connection with (i) preparation of feasibility report, (ii) preparation of project report, (iii) conducting marketing survey or any other survey necessary for the business of the assessee; and (iv) engineering services related to the business of the assessee: within the scope of preliminary expenses which are allowed to be amortised under sub-section (1). Proviso to the said clause requires that the works regarding reports, surveys, etc., are to be carried out by the assessee himself or by a concern which is approved in this behalf by the Board.

It is proposed to substitute the said proviso so as to provide that the assessee shall furnish a statement containing the particulars of expenditure specified in this clause within such period, to such income-tax authority, in such form and manner, as may be provided by rules.

This amendment will take effect from 1st April, 2024 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 2024-2025 and subsequent assessment years.
