My trust situated and registered in Mumbai has inadvertently lost/mislaid Income Tax exemption certificate. We are very much sure that the exemption u/s 12-A(a) had been obtained. Since, we are unable to locate the Probate granted by the Commissioner of Income Tax, exemption cannot be claimed.
Please guide us what is the way out. We had obtained the exemption in the year 1973, since that time onward at no time I Tax authorities asked for this certificate to grant exemption, now they have made it compulsory to produce this certificate to claim exemption.
