Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of donations received by charitable trusts in India. Trusts with 12A registration can claim exemptions on donations applied for charitable purposes, with specific rules for application and accumulation. If a trust lacks 12A registration, donations are generally taxable at applicable rates, potentially including the Maximum Marginal Rate (MMT).

ITR 3 form issue?
If trust having 12A registration then they can claim 20% of donation receipt as an exemption plus 80% need to be applied for charitable purpose... if trust does not have 12A registration then the donation received is taxable at 30% or MMT..
