CA for Schools, Colleges & Educational Institutions
Tax, GST and compliance for Indian education sector entities
Comprehensive CA services for schools, colleges, coaching institutes, universities, ed-tech companies, and training centres — covering GST exemptions, trust/society compliance, income tax for educational trusts, and annual audits.
Challenges Educational Institutions face
Common tax and compliance pain points we solve.
GST on education — what's exempt and what's taxable
Pre-school, school and university education are exempt from GST. But coaching institutes, private tuition centres, vocational training (non-NSDC approved), and ed-tech platforms are taxable at 18%. Many institutes incorrectly treat themselves as exempt.
Trust/Section 8 company compliance
Educational trusts claiming income tax exemption must file Form 10B (audit report) annually. Section 8 companies have specific ROC compliance requirements including annual filings and audited financials.
FCRA compliance for foreign-funded institutes
Educational institutions receiving foreign donations must register under FCRA. Non-compliance leads to cancellation of registration and recovery of foreign contributions received.
