All Public Trust & NGO registered under section 12A or 12AA are provided with the benefit of exemption in respect of corpus donations received. Any contribution by a charitable or religious trust to any other trust registered under Section 12AA, with a specific direction that it shall form part of the corpus of recipient trust is not considered as an application of income for the donor trust.
However, no such specific exemption was available to entities registered under section 10(23C). Hence, The Finance Act, 2020 inserted an Explanation to Section 10(23C) to clarify that the corpus donations shall not form part of the income of such institutions. It has been provided that any corpus donations received by such fund or institution or any university or other educational institution or any hospital or other medical institution, shall not be included in the income of such entities.
This amendment brings exemption available to institutions registered under section 10(23C), for the corpus donations, at par with exemption available to trusts or institutions registered under section 12A/12AA/12AB.
This will help all fund or institution or any university or other educational institution or any hospital or other medical institution, exclusion from the requirement of mandatory application of income in respect of corpus donations
