tx 4 reply.....i knows these provisions very well as per relevant sec 139 & 11 but i want to know the relevance of substantially financed by government. as i heard from some one if college is substantially financed by government then no need to file i.tax return as well as audit report. however in addition to this i find in real life certain college following this practice. is there was any such proviso which no longer valid now. if u have any reference then please reply as earliest possible.

Since your trust is neither owned by the Government nor any fund has been financed by the Government. It is only grants given to you. Now, who will decide whether the grants are taxable or not or the income earned by your trust is to be taxed or exempted. Definitely by the Assessing Officer and without filing of the return how can you be sure that all your income are exempted from Tax?
Ramaya is correct that when there are specific provision for filing of the return you have to comply with the same.
