The Tribunal held that amendments to Section 11 cannot retrospectively curtail the utilization window for earlier accumulations. Existing accumulations remain governed by the law in force at the time they were made.
Authorities cannot insist on adding an irrevocable clause in trust deeds for Section 12A renewal when the trust is otherwise legally irrevocable. Renewal should depend on substance, not form.
NCLAT Delhi held that withdrawal of first notice via second notice under Sec.13(2) of the SARFAESI Act doesn’t invalidate the effect of the recovery certificate which the DRT has passed. Accordingly, PIRP was laid in time and hence appeals are allowed.
Holding that there was no real delay, the Tribunal directed grant of section 80G approval. The decision stresses practical and reasonable interpretation of filing timelines.
Recognising the non-commercial nature of a long-standing charitable trust, the Tribunal condoned the delay. The registration application was sent back for reconsideration on merits.
The Tribunal found that the Commissioner must consider condonation of delay under the amended section 12A. The rejection order was therefore set aside.
The issue was whether a delayed Form 10AB filing justified denial of charitable registration. The Tribunal held that bona fide delay due to transitional confusion and CBDT clarifications warranted condonation and fresh adjudication.
Emphasising substance over form, the ruling clarifies that genuine charitable trusts should not be denied renewal solely on procedural timelines where reasonable cause exists.
The AO questioned genuineness and love and affection behind the gift. The ITAT held that once relationship and capacity are proved through documents, no addition can survive.
The issue was whether delayed filing of Form 10B bars exemption for a charitable trust. The Tribunal held the delay to be procedural and sustained exemption since audit was completed and report filed during appellate proceedings.
