Dear Sirs,
Ours is a registered Society in Andhra Pradesh.
Our Activities:

Position:
To secure income to feed our animals (around 200 cattle rescued from illegal transportation), we are producing organic vegetables, spirulina and milk products (from few milking cattle) and selling them through our shop.
We are planning to produce food grains from our own land.
Query:

2. Since we are proding free medical care to the animals, can we treated as Medical relief society, which can continue their business to raise their own income for sustainability

From the information you have given you are producing your own agricultural products and selling them, to costitute income from agriculture. If this is so, your income is exempt.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your reply. Regarding Income Tax amendment 2008 on continuing business by NGO/NPO:
Our organisation already has 12A exemption.
- Can we continue with our agriculatural produce and sale without loosing our 12A exemption???
- As our animal welfare hospitals provide free treatments for small and large animals, we need to know, if we are considered a part of "Medical care" as mentioned in the amendment???
