Dear sir/s
Please let me know for applying for new PAN for employees gratuity fund what status should i put i.e. INDIVIDUAL / BOI (BODY OF INDIVIDUALS) / AOP (ASSOCIATION OF PERSONS) / TRUST.
The Trust is created with permission of Commissioner of Income Tax.
As this is not a charitable trust i am confused what status should i put.
PLEASE HELP ME AND OBLIGE.
THANKS

I wonder, if a tax consultant is unaware of the tax requirements and implications of law.
But, you have not mentioned, trust is created by whom, individual, body of individuals, association of persons or a company/corporation?

residential status is as per income tax act.
legal status is as per the constitution or governing act.
as u are regd. as trust with CIT, you might have already stated there as trust.

The PAN Application form very clearly states the category as: "Association of Person(s) Trust".
Therefore, if you are a trust, adopt the category as given in the form.
