Income Tax Department — Seeking clarifications regarding the necessity of obtaining permissions from the members of an AOP to file annual Return of AOP

Address:

Aaykar Bhavan,P-5, Chowringhee Square, Kolkata-700069.

To: The Customare Care Executive,
Dear Sir,
I have e-filed an ITR-5 for AY 2021-22 in respect of our Chandralok Apartment Owners' Association (an AOP), (PAN: AAEAC2547H) which is not registered with Societies Registration Act and the individual Income Tax amounts of the members of the Association were not taken into account during computation of Income Tax of the Association.
There were no provision for sharing the amount of Profit among the members.
I, as Treasurer of the Association and an authorized signatory, filed online the ITR-5 on 21/01/2022 and it has been duly e-verified.[Acknowledgement No:[protected]].
But, I filed the ITR as a routine annual exercise as per Sec 139(5) of the
Income Tax Act, 1961, without taking the permission of the members of the
Apartment owners" Association, for which I am facing some difficulties at present.
I would, therefore, request you to let me know whether it is mandatory to obtain permission from the members of the Apartment owners" Association before filing annual Income Tax Return of the Association.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
