TRUST ACCOUNTS

Hi . I have a doubt regarding trust accounts. 

Suppose a trust is established U/s10(23C). It carries on welfare activities for the below poverty line people.In order to mobilise donations the trust members have approached an advertising agency and the said agency promised it would be filming a 30 second advertisement of the trust at all the cinema theatres free of cost.My queries -

1. In the books of trust, does this need to treated in any manner.If yes then pl provide the accounting entries.

2. In the books of advertising agency, does the expenditure incurred for filming the advertisment and displaying it in theatres be considered as donation for income tax purposes and what is the possible accounting entry in the books.

 

Pl refer to accounting standards as far as possible with respect to accounting entries.

it is good that they are doing the aad for u 

for free so any how ur a non profit organisation for that u need not account any thing bcoz ur not receiving 

any immdiate benifit after that

for the pupose of aad agency claimming that amount as a donation is disallowed for the purpose of incometax 

First of all thank you Vaseem Sir. And I have no trust. Its just an example to eloborate my doubt.I wish i had such trust.   :-)
