Audit of a public welfare society & trust

Dear Sir/Madam,

I just want to confirm what is the threshold of income tax audit for a charitable Society and Trust?

I mean if an NGO is having a donation of 8-10 Lack only in a year. Would they be required to go for Income tax audit? or can they just file their ITR-5 ?        Pls confirm?

Thanks in Advance

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the income tax audit threshold for charitable societies and trusts in the UK. It confirms that if a registered NGO receives total income exceeding £2.5 Lakhs annually, an income tax audit is required, regardless of whether it's a surplus or total donations received. Filing ITR-5 may not be sufficient if the audit threshold is met.

If the trust/society is registered for income tax exemption then the audit is required because income is above 2.5 lac.

Dear Sir,

What's the meaning of Income here?

I mean is the total amount received is income   or   the surplus income left in the 'receipt & payments a/c' is income?

Pls clarify sir.

Thanks in advance.

It is the total amount received.
