Annual Accounts Submission filed accurately, on time, every year.

Annual accounts submission is the cornerstone statutory compliance for every public charitable trust, religious trust, and society registered under the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act, 1950 and the Bombay Public Trusts Rules. Every registered trust is required to maintain regular books of account and submit audited financial statements to the Office of the Charity Commissioner within six months from the close of each financial year. The submission includes the income and expenditure account, balance sheet, audit report in the prescribed format, and Schedule VIII for determination of contribution to the Public Trusts Administration Fund.

Beyond statutory compliance, accurate annual accounts submission is essential for trusts seeking renewal of 12A and 80G registration under the Income Tax Act, FCRA returns for foreign contribution, CSR receipts under Section 135 of the Companies Act, and grants from domestic and international funding agencies. The trust auditor's report, the trustee's certificate, and the Schedule VIII contribution all flow from the same set of financials, making accuracy and timeliness non-negotiable for trustees who carry fiduciary responsibility.

Our annual accounts submission practice covers the complete cycle for trusts — bookkeeping review, finalisation of accounts as per Schedule IX-C format, audit coordination with the trust auditor, preparation and filing of Schedule VIII, calculation and payment of contribution to the Public Trusts Administration Fund, online filing through the Charity Commissioner portal, and acknowledgement archival. Whether your trust has a corpus of a few lakhs or operates with multi-crore programme budgets, our Chartered Accountants ensure your annual filing is audit-ready, dispute-free, and aligned with statutory timelines.
