Income Tax Due Date Alert – File Form 9A Before 31st May 2025!

 

💡 Income Tax Due Date Alert – File Form 9A Before 31st May 2025!

If you're managing a trust or NGO, staying compliant with income tax regulations is essential. One critical compliance requirement is filing Form 9A, especially if your organisation wants to carry forward income to be applied in future years.

📌 What is Form 9A?

Form 9A is required to be filed by charitable or religious trusts and institutions that wish to exercise the option under Section 11(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This provision allows trusts to defer the application of income—meaning, they can apply income received in the current year in the following year(s) and still claim exemption.

This option is only valid if Form 9A is filed before the due date of the income tax return, which for most trusts and NGOs is 31st July 2025. However, to claim the benefit for FY 2024-25, Form 9A must be filed on or before 31st May 2025.

✅ Why is Filing Form 9A Important?

  • 📌 Ensures Tax Exemption: Without Form 9A, any income not applied in the current year may be taxed.

  • 📌 Gives Flexibility: Allows time-bound and project-based allocation of funds.

  • 📌 Required for Audit and Return Filing: Helps align financial declarations and audit reports.

  • 📌 Avoids Penalties: Late filing can result in denial of exemption benefits.

🧾 Who Should File Form 9A?

  • Registered Charitable Trusts

  • Religious Institutions

  • NGOs availing exemption under Section 11 and 12

If your trust couldn’t apply 85% of its income in the current year and wants to defer it for genuine reasons (like awaiting approvals or project implementation), filing Form 9A is your legal route to stay exempt.
