As per the provisions of IT Act, if any trust accumulating the surplus for >15% of its receipts to future years, then it has to make an application in Form 10 to its AO before the end of FY or atleast along with Tax Return by declaring the purpose of the investment. if you have made an advance payment t/w construction, that will be treated as utilized for the purpose of trust. Balance you will have deposit in the prescribed investment and intimate to your AO and it has to be utilized before the expiry of the period.
