17 January 2017 Hi,

My client is starting an Educational Institute. He wants to operate such a way so that he can claim exemption available for Educational Institution.
So my doubt What should be done for claiming the exemption Later?

1. Weather he can start Educational Institute under private limited company? Yes or No?
2. If No what can he do for availing exemption?
3. If yes what shall be the procedure.

Thanks in advance...

17 January 2017 Thank you for your Response..

As per my knowledge you have provided the reply from Service Tax point, my doubt is regarding Income Tax Exemption for Educational Institute. Can a company (Educational Institute) claim IT exemption ?

1. If yes, what procedure is to be followed while registering company? Should we give application to Chief Commissioner of director General asking for Exemption at the first itself?

2. or we can claim exemption at year end?
