17 December 2018 As such, there is no penalty for non-submission of form-10 by a religious or charitable trust, but where it was required to be submitted and was not so submitted, then the benefit of S.11(2) shall not be available as the benefit thereof is conditional upon filing of form 10 as per Rule 17(2), which has not been complied.

Relevant provisions-

(2) Where eighty-five per cent of the income referred to in clause (a) or clause (b) of sub-section (1) read with the Explanation to that sub-section is not applied, or is not deemed to have been applied, to charitable or religious purposes in India during the previous year but is accumulated or set apart, either in whole or in part, for application to such purposes in India, such income so accumulated or set apart shall not be included in the total income of the previous year of the person in receipt of the income, provided the following conditions are complied with, namely:—
(a) such person furnishes a statement in the prescribed form and in the prescribed manner to the Assessing Officer, stating the purpose for which the income is being accumulated or set apart and the period for which the income is to be accumulated or set apart, which shall in no case exceed five years;
(b) the money so accumulated or set apart is invested or deposited in the forms or modes specified in sub-section (5);
(c) the statement referred to in clause (a) is furnished on or before the due date specified under sub-section (1) of section 139 for furnishing the return of income for the previous year:
Provided that in computing the period of five years referred to in clause (a), the period during which the income could not be applied for the purpose for which it is so accumulated or set apart, due to an order or injunction of any court, shall be excluded.

Rule 17(2) The statement to be furnished to the Assessing Officer or the prescribed authority under sub-section (2) of section 11 or under the said provision as applicable under clause (21) of section 10 shall be in Form No. 10 and shall be furnished before the expiry of the time allowed under sub-section (1) of section 139, for furnishing the return of income.
