Tax compliance for AOPs: delayed income tax returns and non banking of fees can affect borrowing and trigger penalties. Tax compliance of an AOP registered under the Societies Act running distance learning courses requires regularising income tax filing by determining AOP status and submitting overdue returns; non banking of fees and late bank account opening affect assessability and proof of receipts and may attract penalties. Undefined membership shares complicate allocation of income among members and can hinder fulfilment of lender requirements for loan processing. (AI Summary)
