What is the due date of fililg return of charitable trust

If no tax audit then today ie 31 July 2013. If tax audit then 30 September.

Hi Sushil,

Though tax audit may not be applicable for Trust but Trusts have to get their accounts audited under respective Trusts Act (Form 10B). 30th September is the last date for that assessee who has to get accounts audited under any law (not confined to Tax Audit). Hence in this case, last date will be 30th September.

Other views are welcome.

@ Yogesh:

As per my knowledge Form 10B is a requirement of Income tax Act and Not Charitable Trust Act.

@ Shushil:

If the assesse (Charitable trust) is claiming deduction u/s 11,12 and the total income before deduction is exceeding basic exemption limit then, audit (we can use term Tax Audit) u/s 12A(b) is applicable.

And sec 12A(b) will take you to Rule 17B. As per Rule 17B, audit should be in Form 10B.

About return filing: If audit is applicable (as explained above), then return filing is Suptember. In other case it is July.

Correct me if i am wrong.

And click on thanks user if u find my answer correct.
