This discussion clarifies how to treat loan principal repayments for a trust as an application of income under Section 11(1). It addresses the common issue of discrepancies between the trust's Income & Expenditure account and its ITR-7 filing, explaining that loan repayments can be shown as an application of income, even if not directly in the Income & Expenditure account. The key is to ensure that spending out of the loan wasn't previously treated as application, allowing for loan repayment itself to qualify.

THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR REPLY....BUT THEN THERE IS ALWAYS MIS MATCH BETWEEN INCOME EXPENDITURE SUBMITTED TO TRUST OFFICE & ITR 7.AS WE CAN NOT SHOW REPAYMENT OF LOAN IN INCOME EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT.

The spending out of loan should not have been treated as application earlier. In such a case only loan repayment is allowed as application.
