27 December 2024 Could you please explain the reason for filing a return? there is no concept of a basic exemption limit in the case of a Resident Welfare Association (RWA)?

27 December 2024 Even if an association does not have taxable income due to deduction available, but as the gross receipts are above the basic exemption limit; it is necessary for the RWA to prove this, which is possible only with a Income Tax return filing.
