Please refer section 2(31) and section 44AB.
In section 2(31) the word "person" is defined. As per that section an association of persons (AOP) is a person. A trust is also an AOP.
The heading of section 44AB is- Audit of accounts of certain persons carrying on business or profession. If a trust which an AOP carrying on business and its turnover exceeds the limit specified in section 44AB the trust must get its accounts audited as provided in the income-tax act. Failure to get the accounts attracts penalty u/s 271B.
