ACCUMULATION OF INCOME:
Where 85% of the income is not applied for charitable purposes, the NGO is required to accumulate or set apart such income for future application. The incomes so accumulated will not be included in the total income of the NGO if the following conditions are applied :

the NGO has to given a notice to the assessing officer in Form No. 10, alongwith a certified copy of resolution passed by the governing body. This resolution should specify the purpose and the period for which the income is so accumulated. The period of accumulation cannot exceed five years under any circumstances. Earlier this period used to be ten years but has been reduced to five years with effect from 01.04.2002.

SO THE FIVE YEARS PERIOD STARTS FROM FIRST YEAR OF ACCUMULATION.....

Starts from first year of accumulation but notice should be given to AO..
