We have a Gratuity Trust and contributed Gratuity contribution in every year according to as-15. we have invested Trust income in various mutal fund & fixed deposit and received dividend and interest. Can these income is taxable under section 2(15) Trust Act.
Thanks
yes the income earned on fix deposit and funds is chargeble to tax under the I.T.Act under the head "other sources".
Sir,
If Dividend received is exempt from tax in the hand of Trust then how can income taxable of Gratuity Trust because Divendend Distribution Tax is applicable at the end of Company.
Yes Agreed if the dividend income is exempt then there is no tax
Sir
I am of the opinion that the income shall be exempt based on the following
1) Income tax exemption obtained
2) Based on the principal of mutuality

Dear Sir,
At the time of Dividend Distributed then Dividend distribution tax is applicable. Therefore to save double taxation diviend income is exempt at the hand of Income receiver.
