Notification No. 173/62/2022-ITA-1, dated 11-07-2022
An electoral trust is a trust approved by CBDT in accordance with Electoral Trusts Scheme, 2013. Any voluntary contribution received by the electoral trust shall be included in its income except where 95% of the contribution is distributed to the eligible political parties.
As per clause 5(1)(a) of the Electoral Trust Scheme, 2013, an application for approval is to be made in duplicate in Form A. To avoid procedural delay in processing these applications, the applicants are advised to file along with the application in Form A, the duly filled in and signed check-list accompanied with documents required therein.
In supersession of the order issued in F.No.173/1S8/2013-ITA- 1 dated 10-12-2023, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued the new format of the check-list. The revised check-list seeks the following additional details from Electoral Trust:
