Dear Sir,
 
We have a resident welfare association, registered under societies Act.
There are no absolutely no business activity.
The purpose of the society is to share the common expenses of the apartments like cleaning, water purchased, lift and common area lighting, secruty and wards etc.
Also to meet the major maintance undertaken like White washing, bore-well digging and cleaning etc, which may take place say once in 4 / 5 years a sum is collected from members.
This sum collected for future is deposited in Bank as FDRs' and interest is naturally used to meet the common expenses.
 
1-> What is the status of this Welfare association under IT Act?
2-> Does it have to pay tax on surplus collected to meet the future expenses taxable?
3-> Does the contribution by members and members alone towards sharing the common expenses constitute an income?
 
 
Pl give your replies with section, circular and judgements references.
 
Thanking you.
