- The existing trusts which did not make an application for registration/approval (valid for 5 years) in Form no. 10A by 25th November2022 and subsequently opted for provisional registration/approval (valid for 3 years) in Form 10AB, then the relevant functionality on e-filing portal may be used to surrender Form No. 10AB seeking provisional registration/approval and instead make a new application in Form No.10A for registration/ approval by 30th September 2023.
