11 September 2014 which itr is required to be filed for Gratuity Provident Fund Trust?

11 September 2014 for gratuity fund trust*

12 September 2014 I T R 7 for trust status

12 September 2014 sir itr7 is applicable for entities who are covered u/s 139(4A), 139(4B), 139(4C), 139(4D), but Gratuity trusts are not covered under any of these.Please clarify it.

13 September 2014 You are covered under 139(4D) of the provision of the ACT .

13 September 2014 Sir i've read the whole sec139(4D). But it does not cover Gratuity trust whose income is exempt u/s 10(25)(iv).

02 August 2024 You are correct that Section 139(4D) of the Income Tax Act does not specifically cover Gratuity Trusts, and the applicability of ITR-7 to Gratuity Provident Fund Trusts can be nuanced.
