a return for a charitable trust with registration under section 12 was filed in ITR 7. for the assessment year 2018-19. I get a notice under section 139(9) saying that the return is considered defective as I have not claimed any exemption under section 10 or 11 or 13A. The intimation further says I should file ITR 6. I did not claim any exemption as there was no receipt for the previous year ended 2018. Can anyone guide as to what I should do? The department has accepted earlier year returns filed in ITR 7 despite there was no income in earlier assessment years

You should go to the department and submit your reply with them that there was no income or donation to the trust during the financial year. Hence there is no question of application. In my view ITR -7 is the correct form . However you have not claimed exemption. Hence they are questing you.

File reply of notice mentioning the fact of no income. ITR-7 filed by you is correct form and ITR-6 is not applicable.
