Friends My client is trusty of one of the trust which has around 45 lacs income annually. He had spent around 95% of income as per the objects of religious purpose mentioned in trust deed. Return of trust also filled , but the trust is not registered U/s 12A till now. so please help me whether income of trust allowed as exempt income in spite of not registered under 12a , or revised return will be filed with 30% tax with penalty. Whether registration u/s 12a is compulsory to get exemption of income of trust or not.
