Fact Check: Do Hindu Temples Pay Taxes While Other Religions are Tax Exempted?

Ananaya Sharma May 15, 2023 1 min read

A message is going viral on social media claiming that ‘only Hindu Temples have to pay taxes while other religions enjoy freedom.

A Twitter user by the name of Himanshu Malhotra who is an Advocate and a businessman according to his twitter bio shared the massage and writes, “In Bihar:Temples will have to be registered, will have to pay 4% tax, Bihar State Religious Trust Board’s decision:Why only temples have to pay tax?Why not Madarasas and Churches?#FreeHinduTemple.”

Fact Check:

To investigate this viral claim DFRAC team used certain keywords and found a press release from the Ministry of Finance that appeals to people not to spread fake news, the levying of taxes is not at all related to religion.

Further, we checked on CGST tax act and according to it any business/entity has to register themselves under Goods and Services Tax, if their aggregate turnover in a financial year exceeds Rs 40 lakhs (in all normal category states, except Telangana) and Rs 20 lakhs (in special category states, except J&K and Assam).

Conclusion:

There is no separate tax for any religion so the claim of Himanshu Malhotra is fake.
