ITR-7 is for organizations required to file a return under specific sections of the Income Tax Act. This includes:
- Charitable or religious trusts that have income from property.
- Political parties.
- Scientific research associations, news agencies, universities, and colleges.
- Other specified institutions that are not required to file a return under other provisions.
Essentially, if you are a charitable trust, a political party, or an educational or research body, you’ll likely use this form to claim exemptions under the Income Tax Act.
