The income of the assessee is from membership fees from its members, specialized services, services and facilities, meetings, seminars and training programmes, sale of publication etc. It is also noted that the income of the assessee from other […]
Conclusion: Where assessee trust could not file audit report as its accounts having been seized were released for quite a shorter time period before filing of return, however, the audit report had been filed along with revised return filed by assessee even before last date prescribed for completion of assessment, AO was not justified in denying exemption under section 11.
CIT Vs Mata Amrithanandamayi Math (Karala High Court) A reading of section 11 shows that subject to the provisions of sections 62 and 63, the incomes enumerated therein shall not be included in the total income of the previous year of the person in receipt of the income. The person in receipt of the income, […]
The issue is one, namely, whether the assessee was entitled to claim benefit of section 11(1)(d) of the Income Tax Act,1961 with respect to Government grant of Rs. 8.97 crores received during the assessment year in question.
In M/s. Peoples Education Society Vs. DCIT(E), the ITAT, Bengaluru held that the assessee- society is not entitled to exemption in respect of investment in fixed asset using loan amount under section 11 of the Income Tax Act.
Whether the activity of conducting one-day matches’T-20 matches and Indian Premier League matches by Tamil Nadu Cricket Association would amount to doing business or trade?
The textbooks are provided by the Assessee to the students at subsidised rates. Even the textbooks books, reading materials and school bags are being distributed free to deserving students. The essential activity of the Assessee is connected with ‘education’ and nothing else.
The division bench of the Delhi High Court confirmed the Income Tax exemption granted to the Viswa Hindu Parishad (VHP) for the period in which they were banned by the government under UAP Act.
We are prima facie of the opinion that the activities of the assessee of Banquet Hall Hiring, Hospitality (Restaurants) and Permit Room (Bar) are in the nature of carrying on trade, commerce, or business for consideration, which are hit by proviso to Section 2(15) of 1961 Act.
The assessee is a charitable trust and has challenged the confirmation of the order of the AO where he disallowed the accumulation of the 15% even when the income was allowed u/s.11(1)(a) of the Act. The AO observed that if the trust is not left with surplus and there is deficit, then there can be no accumulation made. He further stated that accumulation or setting apart of 15% of income has been allowed by virtue of provision of section 11(1)(a) of the Act, when assessee is unable to spend the entire amount and where the entire amount has been spent, there is no surplus left that can be accumulated.
