Tax on income of Hindu priests

Dear Professionals,
Can any one give insight on Tax on income of Hindu priests [poojari, panditji, bhatji] and also which return is to be filed. Please specify sections or case laws if available

income of hindu priest is treated as income of individual...so,ITR 1 should be filed but if there is a religious trust then income of religious trust is exempt u/s.11 of income tax act
Yes if it is religious trust the income is exempt only if registration is obtained under 12AA as charitable purpose
But I feel, it should come under vocation and hence charged to tax under PGBP
