22 March 2012 Dear Mohanlal,

Income derived by a trust is taxable unless that income is applied (85% minimum) for charitable purpose in India ( other than exempt income).

In your case the trust has derived income from fixed deposit , thus its income will be taxed unless that income is applied (85 %) for charitable purpose in India.

Regards
