Charitable Trust Income Accumulation/ Set Apart Option u/s 11 to be exercised electronically under DSC or EVC
Section 11 of the Income Tax Act 1961 envisages two situations when the threshold of 85% application could not be accomplished by a charitable or religious institution.
- S. 11(1): Where the income could not be applied due to non-receipt of the income or any other reason- the income can be accumulated for application in the year of receipt/ next previous year.
- S. 11(2): A general accumulated or set apart for a maximum period of 10 years is allowed.
Under both the clauses the option is to be exercised in writing to the AO before the expiry of the time allowed for furnishing of its return of income u/s 139(1) as specified in Rule 17.

- Two separate Form 9A and Form 10 has been notified for exercise of option u/s 11(1) and 11(2).
- These forms are to be filed electronically either under digital signature or under electronic verification code.
