09 March 2012 The closing balance in case of trust are not taxable. Further if the amount is taxed as income in the previous years the trust has a spent 85% then it is fully excempted. Further if the amount is a corpus donation then the same is fully excempted.

It is not compulsory to collect the full address, but it would be safe your part to collect as this wont attract qualification from auditors and KYC and AML norms are met with
