Draft Resolution for accumulation of the fund by the Trust

Trust, NGO, NPO etc are allowed to accumulate up to 15% of the income earned during the year for application for charitable or religious purposes in India in future without any restrictions and limitations.

However, if such trust wants to accumulate addition to 15% of the income subject to the compliance of the following conditions:

  1. such Trust furnishes a declaration in Form No. 10 electronically either under digital signature or electronic verification code to the Assessing Officer, stating the purpose for which the income is being accumulated or set apart and
  2. The period for which the income is to be accumulated or set apart cannot exceed five years;
  3. Such amount which is so accumulated or set apart is invested or deposited in the forms or modes specified in section 11(5);
  4. the statement i.e., Form No. 10 is required to be furnished on or before the due date specified under section 139(1) for furnishing the return of income for the previous year.
  5. While reckoning the period of five years referred to in clause (a), the period during which the income could not be applied for the purpose for which it is so accumulated or set apart, due to an order or injunction of any court, shall be excluded.

The question arises whether it need resolution by the trust or simply the secretary can file Form No. 10.

Obviously the purpose of accumulation need to be approved by the trustee or governing body member. The secretary of the trust should file Form No. 10 only after getting the required approval of the Governing body or trustee.

Here is a draft copy of the resolution which can be passed by the trustee and then can be given to the auditor or tax consultants for filing Form No. 10
