Filling up form itr-7

The client is a registered society working for religious & charitable purposes. We have also made an application u/s 12AA, proceedings of which are ongoing.

The querry is that, while filling up Form ITR-7, under which head should i classify the Surlpus appearing in the Income & Expenditure A/c of the society.

The generic knowledge about Income Tax Returns of societies & trusts says to recognize the income as "income from property held under trust". But i am unable to find that under which Income head should it be displayed ?

 

Kindly answer the querry alongwith relevent citation of the Act or Case Law.

Income from Property held under trust means operational income which is taxable as Income from Business and Profession.But your surplus may contain other incomes like Dividend, interst so , income from donations etc. should be taxed under Business Income and Interest or other income should be taxed under respective heads.

The basic motive behind forming a trust is for serving public at large i.e. it has no "PROFIT" motive but businesses are run with a profit motive and that is why i find it a bit risky to show such income under busness head.

I appreciate the reply but kindly susbtantiate it with some proper citation of the Act or Case Law considering such income as operational income.

Please send me details on ITR-7 FOR AY-2013-14 & 2014-15. I FEEL SOME PROBLEM IN ITR-7. CA.PAWAN GUPTA (pawanpremchand @ gmail.com)

Sir,

   I am filled the trust return for AY 2014-15, dated 23/10/2015, in  ITR-7, Showing Computation as

All voluntary contributions amount                                          155000/-

Less: Amount applied to Charitable purpose                            154250/-

Income chargeable to tax                                                         1250/-

 

After processing of return, I received Intimation U/s 143(1), it shows Gross Total Income is 155000/-. So tax on that income is 48050+ interest   19056 = total demand 67106.

And also Iam not filed the Trust returns for AY 2015-16 & 2016-17. In this month  Trust applied the 12A registration. 

1.Please give me suggestion how to rectify my return for AY 2014-15 and

2. In case AY 2015-16 return filed u/s 142(1) -- ?
