Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications of receiving donations into a personal savings account, particularly for retired individuals. It clarifies whether such donations are taxable under 'Income from other sources' or can be considered exempt income. The key factor is whether the ashram, where the individual resides, is registered with the ITD for receiving donations. If the donation income exceeds £2.5 lakh, registration is usually required to claim exemptions; otherwise, it's taxable at individual rates.

Ashram registered with ITD for taking donations or not ?
If income of donations is less then 2.5 lac then no tax liability nor you are required to take registration under income tax.
If donations income is huge (say greater then 2.5 lac ) you must take registration for availing exemptions other wise it is taxable at normal rates as individuals
If register then what can I treated this income , other side if not register then how to deal this income
If you remain unregistered then such income will be taxable under head Income from other sources and will not be exempted.
It will be taxable at normal rates of tax as are applicable to individual.
Thanks a lot
