Description
In India, charitable and religious trusts play a vital role in enriching, our cultural heritage and in catering educational, medical, socio-economical and religious needs of people. Hence, since the introduction of the Income Tax Act, income derived from property held for charitable or religious purposes always enjoyed exemption from tax net. However, to ensure that tax privileges are not abused and are enjoyed only by deserving charitable and religious institutions, many changes have been made in provisions from time to time. Income of the Charitable and religious trusts is exempt from tax subject to some conditions. The exemptions are provided to the trust under various provisions of sections 10, 11 and 12 of the Income Tax Act, The law relating to charity has become very complex since its evolution and many controversial debatable issues have arisen. Provisions regarding charities are as much subject to instability as other provisions in the Income Tax Law by way of statutory amendments, instructions from time to time and the ever flowing precedents from the Courts and the Tribunal. Many Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) spread across the world are supplementing the efforts of the governments in promoting social welfare and economic development. Tax Administrators have also recognized the voluntary efforts of these Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and provided tax incentives to those engaged in charitable activities.
