Charitable Trust

This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A charitable trust registered under sections 12AA and 80G received a significant sum for building construction, with TDS deducted under section 194C. The core question is whether this TDS deduction impacts the trust's tax exemptions. Clarification is sought on whether the funds are considered a donation or payment for construction services. If it's payment for services and exceeds 20% of total receipts, it could jeopardise the 12AA exemption, unless it's incidental to the trust's main charitable purpose.

If the such business income exceed 20% of total receipts then it will loose 12AA exemption.

The construction of the building is executed by the Trust. The payment of the contractor is made by the donar ie. MRPL.

22 September 2020 TDS should have been deducted in the PAN of the contractor while making payment by MRPL.
Now ask MRPL to correct the TDS return. No TDS can be deducted on the PAN of the trust.
