Form 16 certifies total donations made for scientific research and must be issued annually by prescribed institutions. However, deduction is subject to statutory conditions and verification by tax authorities.
Institutions receiving research donations must file Form 15 annually. Non-compliance may impact donor deductions and attract consequences under the law.
Form 14 provides formal approval of in-house R&D facilities by DSIR. However, deduction is allowed only upon fulfilment of statutory conditions and verification by tax authorities.
The document clarifies that furnishing the audit report is only a compliance requirement. Deduction is subject to further scrutiny by the Income-tax Department. This ensures accountability in claiming tax incentives.
Form 12 provides certified details of R&D expenditure, enabling authorities to verify deduction claims under section 45(2).
Form 11 must be filed by companies seeking approval of in-house R&D facilities under Section 45(2). While it establishes eligibility, actual deduction depends on compliance with statutory conditions and verification.
Form 10 requires prescribed authorities to report approved research programmes to tax authorities. It ensures monitoring and verification of deductions claimed under the law.
Form 9 is a key document evidencing payments to approved research programmes. It supports deduction claims but does not guarantee eligibility.
The prescribed authority cannot extend programme duration or increase cost after approval. This ensures certainty and discipline in implementation. Sponsors must adhere strictly to approved parameters.
Form 7, prescribed under Rule 30 of the Income-tax Rules, 2026, is a mandatory application for sponsors seeking prior approval of a scientific research programme under section 45(3)(c) of the Income-tax Act, 2025.
