Everything You Need to Know About Form 9A Filing – Due Date: 31st May 2025 📌 What is Form 9A? 🧾

Form 9A is a crucial compliance form under the Income Tax Act, 1961. It is used by certain entities like charitable and religious trusts/institutions to exercise the option under Explanation to Section 11(1). This section allows them to apply the income of the previous year in the next financial year or in future, thereby ensuring that such income is still considered exempt from tax.

This option is beneficial for organizations that are unable to apply 85% of their income during the financial year, due to unavoidable reasons, and wish to carry forward that application to a later year.

📅 Due Date for Form 9A Filing:

31st May 2025
This is within 2 months from the end of the financial year 2024–25, which ends on 31st March 2025.

👥 Who Should File Form 9A?

Any trust or institution that:

  • Claims exemption under Section 11

  • Could not apply 85% of its income during FY 2024–25

  • Intends to apply that income in FY 2025–26 or in future

  • Is required to file the return of income on or before 31st July 2025

✅ Key Points to Remember:

  • Mandatory Online Filing: Form 9A must be filed electronically through the Income Tax e-filing portal.

  • Digital Signature/ EVC: The form must be verified using a valid Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) or Electronic Verification Code (EVC).

  • Separate from Form 10: If application is deferred beyond the immediate next year, filing Form 10 is also necessary along with Form 9A.

🔍 Why Timely Filing is Important?

Failing to file Form 9A by the due date means:

  • The unspent amount will be added to the taxable income

  • The tax exemption under Section 11 may be denied

  • It can lead to notices and penalties from the Income Tax Department
