Ms. Usha Kapoor,

Thanks to know that I have to file ITR 7. But, my worrying question is whether the association can provide relief to its Members. Because after going through the act and other articles I came to know that out of the total income of the educational institution 85% and more has to be spend on the said institution itself and the balance has to be reserved in corpus fund itself to be spend for the institution in the coming years. Nowhere I had came across as to the amount can be spent for its members also. Please clarify.

Yeah! As stated by you-you   said 15 % income we'd like to spend for  medical relief to  our  500 members. But /According to the act  providing medical releif  for the poor, opening charitable Hospitals, and quality Instituions o fHelath cARE ETC  AT LOW COST FOR  POOR AND MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE QUALIFY FOR   T.AX SPOPS. sINCE 15%  OF YOUR  ANNUAL  TURN OVER YOU SAID WOULD BE PROVIDING MEDICAL RELEIF TO YOUR OWN  MEMBERS DO NOT QUlify for  exemption. You get your accounts audited every year  and also get  registered under  section12 AA for more tax sops and rebates. Then  one time approval  of 'chief Commssioner of CBDT would be enough to enjoy   permanent  eligibility for tax exemptions. If you appreciate this  reply please cxlick the thank you  button on this  forum.. Your main objectis  or principal object is  education if other incidental objectives are there such as medical releif for  the poor that also would qualify for tax exemption.

Dear Client,

Please let me know who are your members? Are they educated with  sufficientincome of there own? In  which  case  you doo  not qualify fo r tax rebaeor exemption. If they  ARE UNDERPRIVILEGED MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY, DOWNTRODDEN ETC WOULD QUALIFY FOR EXEMPTION..Anyway your  annual  turnoverexxceeds 1 crore rupees and hence you need to file form ITR 7.
