d)         Payment for expenditure to be made by account payee cheque only.  Provision of Section 40A(3) has been amended to provide that any expenditure made otherwise than by account payee cheque or draft (as against crossed cheque or draft) shall not be allowed.

e)         All educational and medical institutions claiming exemption under Section 10(23C) would be required to file income tax return in case their total income exceeds Rs.1 lakh before claiming exemption under Section 10(23C).  This provision shall be effective from the current Asstt. Year, i.e., Asstt. Year 2006-07.  Accordingly all schools and hospitals who are claiming exemption under Section 10(23C) clauses (iiiac) or (iiiae) even if their receipts are less than Rs.1 Cr. shall be required to file the return of income provided income before exemption exceeds expenditure by Rs.1 lakh or more.

f)          All educational and medical institutions who are claiming exemption under Section 10(23C) and whose annual receipts are Rs.1 Cr. or more shall be required to get their accounts audited and submit the audit report in the prescribed proforma.  The new audit format for these institutions is being notified separately.

g)         Approval under Section 10(23C), Section 35 to be a one time affair.   Presently approval under Section 10(23C) and Section 35 is for a limited period which is required to be renewed.   Any approval granted after this enactment shall not be required to be renewed.   However, approval granted before this enactment shall be valid till the date the same has been given and will be required to be renewed once thereafter.   After such renewal there will be no requirement to get the same further renewed.

h)         Provision of Section 56(a)(v) treating gift as income from other sources has been amended.  As per the amendment any sum of money received without consideration by an individual or HUF will be considered as income from other sources where the aggregate value of the money received without consideration from any person/persons exceeds Rs.50,000.  By this amendment a cap has been put on the total amount of gift one can receive during the year.  This amendment  is effective in respect of the gift received on or after 1st April, 2006.  However, donation or grant received from any charitable institution shall be exempt.   There is no change in the definition of a relative, gift from whom in the case of individual is also exempt.
