25 July 2024 For filing returns of a trust for the Financial Years 2002-03 to 2007-08 in India, the specific forms and requirements may vary depending on the nature of the trust and its income. Generally, trusts in India are required to file their income tax returns using specific forms designated by the Income Tax Department. Here’s a general guideline on which forms you might use:

### Forms for Income Tax Return Filing by Trusts

1. **Form ITR-7**: This form is generally used by trusts (other than political parties and charitable or religious institutions) to file their income tax returns. However, the format and details required in Form ITR-7 may have changed over the years, and it's crucial to use the version applicable for each respective financial year.

- **Applicability**: Trusts whose income is chargeable to tax under the Income Tax Act, including charitable and religious trusts.

- **Filing Requirements**: Form ITR-7 must be filed electronically under digital signature.

2. **Form 10B**: This form is required for audit report under section 12A(b) of the Income Tax Act, which applies to trusts claiming exemption under section 11 of the Act (income from property held for charitable or religious purposes).

- **Applicability**: Trusts seeking exemption under section 11 and section 12 of the Income Tax Act.

- **Filing Requirements**: Form 10B is required to be submitted along with the income tax return.

### Specific Steps to Follow:

- **Identify the Relevant Financial Years**: Determine the exact financial years for which you need to file the returns (2002-03 to 2007-08 in your case).

- **Download Forms**: Visit the Income Tax Department’s website (www.incometaxindia.gov.in) to download the relevant forms for each financial year. Ensure you select the correct assessment year corresponding to the financial year.

- **Gather Required Documents**: Collect all necessary financial statements, audit reports (if applicable), and other supporting documents required for filing the returns.

- **Preparation and Filing**: Fill out the forms accurately with all required details and submit them electronically using a digital signature.

- **Verification**: Verify that all information provided is correct and matches the supporting documents before submission.

### Important Notes:

- Since these forms and their requirements may have evolved over the years, it’s advisable to consult with a tax advisor or chartered accountant familiar with trust taxation to ensure compliance with current regulations.

- Always refer to the latest notifications, circulars, and guidelines issued by the Income Tax Department for any updates or changes in filing procedures.

By following these steps and using the correct forms for each respective financial year, you can ensure proper compliance with income tax filing requirements for trusts in India.
