The clinching fact that emerges here is that assessee’s ‘hundi’ receipts in cash from donors are not revenue items but capital receipts only. The relevant provisions of the ‘Endowment Act’ duly makes it clear that they are corpus donations which nowhere go against the provisions of tax law.
Lack of declaration in Form No.10 regarding specific purpose for which funds were being accumulated by the assessee trust would not be fatal to the exemption claimed u/s.11(2) of the Act.
We observe that the fund in question is a capital fund/corpus fund therefore, it is out of preview of the provisions of section 11(2) of the Act. Section 11 of the Act deals with the utilization of income of a trust. This section is not having any provision about the utilization of corpus donation/fund like general fund or other receipts.
