ITR-7 is a
specialized income tax return form designed for entities that claim tax
exemptions under specific sections of the Income Tax Act, 1961. It is primarily
used by non-profit organizations, charitable/religious trusts, political
parties, and scientific research institutions. Unlike standard ITRs, this form
focuses heavily on the application of income for charitable purposes rather
than just profit and loss.
Overview
The ITR-7
form is an income tax return in India meant for entities such as charitable and
religious trusts, political parties, universities, colleges, hospitals, and
other institutions specified under sections 139(4A), 139(4B), 139(4C), and
139(4D) of the Income Tax Act. It allows these organizations to declare their
income and claim exemptions under provisions like sections 10, 11, 12, and 13A.
Unlike individual or corporate returns, ITR-7 is mandatory for institutions
with tax-exempt income and must be filed electronically through the Income Tax
Department’s e-filing portal to ensure compliance and transparency.
