section 11 and 12 is applicable only if registration is taken under sec 12A. My doubt is if the trust is not taken 12A regn and it received Corpus Donations with a specific direction. Whether section 56 will become applicable for corpus donation received.

Mr Sheejith, as the corpus donation received by the non registred trust is an income, it will be a taxable income. It shall be taxed under Other sources if income is not chargeable to income-tax under the head "Profits and gains of business or profession"
