1. Two types of mutual concerns can be formed for flat members. One is the Resident Welfare Association(RWA) and the other one is Co-operative Housing Society.
2. In the case of RWA, it will be treated as AOP and registration can be done for the same as AOP as per Income tax act. In this case, it will be charged to tax considering basic exemption limit of Rs. 2.5 lakhs and so on and a surcharge of 10 % for income excess of Rs. 50 lakhs and 15% for income in excess of Rs. 1 crore.
3. If the same is registered as Co-operative Housing Society (registration is must fall under this category) then tax will be charged as per co operative society @ 30% in excess of Rs. 20,000 and surcharge @ 12% in excess of Rs.1 crore.
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
