07 November 2012 generally Schools are NGO and the income of
the NGO is exempt depending in which nature it is formed and registered

an NGO can be registered as follows
1. Trust
2. society
3. non profit company U/s 25 of the companies act 1956

so it depends whether the school is an NGO or a PVT company or a firm or sole proprietor

the taxability would depend on the above fact.
