Short answerA trust files its income-tax return in Form ITR-7. A 12AB-registered trust must apply at least 85% of its income to its charitable objects to keep the exemption, file the audit report (Form 10B/10BB) where required, and file the return by the due date.

ITR-7 + 85% application

File ITR-7; apply 85%+ of income to objects, or accumulate properly to retain exemption.

Audit report where needed

File Form 10B/10BB if the trust’s income crosses the limit. Confirm which form.
