Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether the basic exemption limit of ₹2,50,000 is still applicable for trusts and NGOs claiming exemption under Sections 11/12. It clarifies that registered trusts under Section 12A can avail this exemption and file ITR-7. However, unregistered trusts should file ITR-5 without claiming these exemptions, as attempting to do so may lead to scrutiny.
Registered trust under section 12A can avail basic exemption limit ₹2.5L, can claim exemption u/s 11/12, and file ITR-7, however if the trust is not registered then they should file ITR-5 without claiming exemption u/s 11/12. There is a strong possibility that case will be chosen for scrutiny if unregistered trust keeps continuing claiming exemption u/s 11/12.
