CBDT Extends Deadline for Trusts, Institutions to File Audit Reports on or before 31st March, 2024



Quick Summary
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the deadline for certain trusts and institutions to submit their audit reports. Previously, incorrect forms (10B instead of 10BB, or vice versa) were submitted by some organisations for Assessment Year 2023-24, which could lead to the denial of tax exemptions. The CBDT has now allowed these entities to furnish the correct audit report in the applicable Form 10B or 10BB by 31st March 2024, ensuring they can still claim their exemptions.

FAQ :

The deadline for filing the audit report in the applicable Form 10B or 10BB has been extended to 31st March 2024.

This extension applies to trusts and institutions that furnished their audit report on or before 31st October 2023 using Form 10B when Form 10BB was required, or vice versa, for Assessment Year 2023-24.

It was necessary because many trusts and institutions mistakenly submitted the wrong audit report form (10B or 10BB) for Assessment Year 2023-24, which could have resulted in the denial of their tax exemptions.

Form No. 10B is generally required if the total income exceeds five crores, foreign contributions were received, or income was applied outside India. Form No. 10BB is required in other cases.

The extension is detailed in CBDT Circular No. 2/2024, dated 05.03.2024.
