Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the implications for an NPO registered under Section 8 that hasn't applied for tax exemption within six months. Failing to file Form 10A promptly can result in the loss of exemption for the interim period, making receipts taxable. The correct due date for ITR filing for Section 8 companies, even without audits, is 31st October. Exemption cannot be claimed in the ITR without a valid Form 10A URN; the NPO must file as a non-exempt entity until provisional approval is granted.

  • Consequences: Delay in filing Form 10A leads to the loss of tax exemption for the interim period, making total receipts taxable under normal corporate rules.

  • Due Date: The due date for filing the ITR of a Section 8 company is 31st October (not 31st July).

  • Claiming Exemption in ITR: Exemption cannot be claimed without a valid Form 10A URN; the company must file as a non-exempt corporate entity until provisional approval is obtained.
