CIT cannot deny registration of trust U/s. 12AA by examining activities instead of objects

January 18, 2013 1516 Views 0 comment Print

It would be relevant to mention here that the trust was formed on 11-1-2012, the application for registration under section 12AA was submitted by the appellant on 27-3-2012, i.e., within a period of three months of its creation. The school activities started in June, 2012. The appellant submitted its books of account up to September, 2012 before the Commissioner. The Commissioner, after examining the statement of accounts, for such a short period formed its opinion that the activities of trust were not charitable in nature. The Commissioner did not raise any objection on the objects of the trust. It was premature for the Commissioner to judge the activities of the trust by just glancing through the statement of accounts of the trust of such a short period.

Deeming of income accruing or arising in India are those situations where income has not actually accrued or arisen in India but still it will be deemed to accrue or arise in India. Hence, both the situations are mutually exclusive. If one case is falling within the ambit of income accrued and arisen in India, it cannot fall within the ambit of income deemed to accrue or arise in India and vice versa.

If assessee not liable to pay advance tax, interest u/s. 234B cannot be charged

January 14, 2013 3316 Views 0 comment Print

The proviso to sub-section (1) to section 209, inserted by the Finance Act, 2012 is prospective in nature and not with retrospective effect. The proviso was brought into operation with effect from 1-4-2012, therefore, the assertion of revenue is disagreed with. Even otherwise, the language used in section 209(1) is regarding payment of advance tax in the financial year, therefore, the proviso is not attracted for the impugned assessment year.
