U/s 12 AA


This query is : Resolved

What is the ceiling limit for a trust or organization registered U/s.12 AA of Income tax act 1961, to obtain PAN number from donors? Pls clarify.

19 May 2009 Rs. 10,000.00.

20 May 2009 Tks. I have one more doubt. the above limit is greater than Rs.10000/- or greater than equal to Rs.10000/-

02 August 2025 Regarding the **ceiling limit under Section 12AA for PAN collection from donors**:

* The **limit is Rs. 10,000**, meaning that if a donation is **equal to or exceeds Rs. 10,000**, then the trust or organization should obtain the PAN details of the donor.

So, it’s **≥ Rs. 10,000** (greater than or equal to 10,000), not strictly greater than 10,000.

---

**Summary:**

* Donations **of Rs. 10,000 or more** — PAN of donor must be obtained.
* Donations **below Rs. 10,000** — No mandatory requirement to collect PAN.

---

This is consistent with the reporting and documentation requirements for trusts and entities registered under Section 12AA of the Income Tax Act, especially for audit and exemption purposes.
