Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies which Income Tax Return (ITR) form is appropriate for a trust that is not registered under section 12A. The consensus points towards ITR5 being the applicable form in such cases, especially when exemption under Section 139 is not claimed. ITR7 is generally reserved for trusts registered under Section 12A or those claiming specific exemptions.
Any taxpayer can use ITR-7 Form for filing Income Tax Return if they file as a Trust, Company, Firm, Local authority, Association of Person (AOP) or Artificial Judicial Person and claims exemption under Section 139 (4A), Section 139 (4B), Section 139 (4C)or Section 139 (4D).
