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.

Sec 12AA OF THE TRUST ACT IS VERY PETTINENT.
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.

I see your points on the basic exemption limit for trusts under Section 11/12, but I wonder if we should also consider how local state laws might influence tax benefits. It could vary quite a bit! level devil
