Book Free Consultation

Charitable and religious trusts, societies and Section 8 companies claiming exemption under Sections 11 and 12 of the Income-tax Act are required to get their accounts audited and furnish the audit report in the prescribed form. Form 10B is the audit report applicable to institutions falling within the categories notified for that form, and it must be filed electronically by a chartered accountant before the due date linked to the return of income.

At N D Savla & Associates, we handle the full Form 10B cycle for exempt institutions in Nashik and across Maharashtra — reviewing books, verifying application of income, examining corpus and specified-person transactions, and completing the audit report along with its annexures.

Because Form 10B carries detailed reporting on matters such as application of income, accumulation, foreign contributions and payments to specified persons, accuracy at the audit stage directly protects the institution's exemption. We work through the schedules with the trustees rather than simply collecting a signature at the end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Form 10B is the audit report furnished by a chartered accountant for certain trusts and institutions claiming exemption under Sections 11 and 12, reporting on their accounts, application of income and related particulars.
Trusts, societies and institutions registered for exemption are required to have their accounts audited and file the prescribed audit report where their income before exemption exceeds the threshold specified in the Act, with the applicable form depending on the category the institution falls into.
Both are audit reports for exempt institutions, but they apply to different categories of institutions based on criteria such as the level of receipts, foreign contributions and application of income outside India, so the correct form must be determined case by case.
Delay or failure in furnishing the audit report can put the institution's exemption claim at risk and may lead to the income being taxed without the benefit of exemption, so timely filing is important.
The audit report is prepared and uploaded by a chartered accountant on the income tax portal, and the institution must then accept the uploaded form using its own portal login.
Books of account, receipts and payments records, donation records, grant agreements, investment details, minutes and registration documents should be maintained and made available for the audit.
