      1. Amit Tandon says:

        New IT website :

        After logging in, go to e-file -> Income Tax Forms -> File Income Tax Forms

        Click on Persons not dependent on any Source of Income (Source of Income not relevant)

        Form 10 A is available on the right hand side.

    1. SUDEV says:

      No.In case of fresh registration, You can register any time and time limit of June is not applicable.But annual accounts of maximum 3 years must be submitted. If the trust’s gross receipts during the year 2020-21 exceeds 250000 , auditing and filing of ITR is mandatory . So it’s better to file ITR before submitting the 10A for fresh registration.

  9. Arshad Tamboli says:

    I’ve to apply for registration of existing trust under form 10A before 30 June 2021. So will the financials of FY 2020-21 be required to be given even when the due date of ITR/Audit is extended till Sept Oct 21??
    If Yes will it be necessary that the accounts muc=st be audited?

    1. SUDEV says:

      If your section code is 01, self certified copy of annual accounts are enough. Auditing is not required while registering for 12 AB .(for Section Code 01).

    2. SUDEV says:

      Self certified copy of annual accounts for financial year 2020-21 must be furnished along with form 10A ( maximum three years annual accounts must be furnished if the trust is in existence for more than three years ) .

  10. Pramodh.N says:

    Should I apply for registration in case where I had applied for 80G Registration before april 2021and waiting for approval?

    1. ATUL N SHAH says:

      if we have not registration certificate u/s 12AA and what you mean of order of granting approval is it mandatory to attaché

      Can you please clarify, Form No. 10A is to for fresh registration of existing Trust already registered and Form No. 10AB is for what ??

      1. DAVID GOYAL says:

        For registration of trust a new section 12AB has been insterted. so as per section 12ab all trust/ society already registered under 12A/ 12AA are required to reapply for registeration under 12AB section. If a new trust wants to get registeration then applicant can apply for that under sec. 12AB and get provisional registration for 3 years and that trust has to apply for final registration atleast 6 months prior to expiry of abovesaid 3 years and that final registration is for 5 years.

        now form 10A is for those trust who are already registered under 12A/12AA and those trust who desires for fresh registration.
        form 10AB is when when new trust apply for final registration ( for 5 years) which should be applied atleast 6 months prior to expiry of 3 years .

        hope this will helpful for you
