So if a charitable and religious trust or institution is not registered under section 12A and hence not eligible to claim exemption under section 11 and 12 of the Act is not supposed to obtain audit report in form 10B. Even if such institution is getting its account audited from a Chartered Accountant by virtue of requirements contained in its governing statue, the audit report shall not be in form 10B.
