22 June 2025 For accumulation of income, it is necessary that the organisation/trust must indicate specific purpose or purposes for which it wants to accumulate the funds. A general decision to accumulate listing all the objects of the organisation would not be sufficient.
Don't include administrative and establishment expenses.
You can include building repair and education expenses.
