17 July 2008 these two are synon . but usage is different. circular- Department sent to inform the guidelines to implement and govern the law.
circular is not binding on the assesses.
this is not a public document.

Notification generally is issued with some authority means G.O that Gazatted notice. it will bind on the assessee. and this is public document.

simply u can understand that circular is an internal document and notification is external docuement.

if u have still doubts please revert back to me.
