15% is used in reference to the part of the income derived from the trust property which can be accumulated or set apart. 85% of such income has to be applied for the purpose or objectives of the trust . Prior to 1-4-2003, up to 25% of income could be accumulated and 75% of the Income was required to be applied. . So you can say what was 25% prior to 1-4-2003 is 15% now. . As I think, this confusion has arisen while reading the old cases.
