Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax liability of trusts. While not fully exempt, trusts benefit from specific exemptions under Sections 11-13 of the Income Tax Act, 1961, rather than standard income tax provisions. The tax treatment of capital gains and other income is detailed, including conditions for exemption based on reinvestment. Importantly, filing an income tax return remains mandatory for trusts if their income exceeds the exemption limit before deductions.

The entire income of trust be it house property, capital gain or any other income is taxed as per the provisions of section 11-13 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 rather than as per there relevant provisions. So it's not Fully Exempt, but various Exemption is available for trust...
Ok, means house property or capital gain is taxable as like others person
No, it's not taxable as per normal Provision like 5 heads of income as in normal course.

Trust's taxable income will be computed in a specified manner as per Sec 11-13 of income tax act, 1961
If trust registered under income tax, sell property than capital gain. how calculate.
The capital gain arising from the transfer of a property held by religious/charitable trust shall be taxable as under:

1) Cost of new asset ≥ net consideration from asset sold → Entire capital gain is exempt

2) Cost of new asset < net consideration from asset sold → Capital Gains Exempt = Cost of new asset less Cost of old asset
How other income taxable and calculate tax
If trust registration is refused by commissioner who is the appellate authority and which section???

Total income of Trust
add: Voluntary Contribution i.e donation
From this total income Flat 15% deduction is available, remaining 85% if you applied for charitable and religious purpose, than total amount exempt, there will be No tax payable..

Is it right?

Yes, it right..if you Applied 85% of total income ..that it's totally Exempt.
Sir, for trust return filing is compulsory if all amount are exempt as there is no tax payable

For Trust income tax return filing is mandatory as per Section 139 if income of trust before Claiming Deduction Under section 11-13 is more than Exemption limit.

Its impliedthd trust has applied 85% of his income towards trust.
