24 August 2010 Corpus Fund is that fund which is never expended i.e. it is retained in the Trust Fund forever.

The concept of creating Corpus Fund is to maintain funds in the Trust so that it can run its activities for an indefinite period.

Whenever a trust is created; there is no intention that its activities would be closed after some years.

To run such activities for a very long period; some permanent funds are required.

In simple language that is called Corpus Fund.

The principle behind corpus is alike introduction of Capital in the business.

Since on capital there is no income-tax hence the same concept is followed when Corpus is received in the Trust and no Income Tax is levied.
