It was ruled that failure to specify an exact project in Form 10 is a technical lapse. Where the charitable objects and utilisation are evident, accumulation cannot be disallowed.
The ITAT held that the PCIT (Central) had no authority to cancel trust registration under Section 12AB. Jurisdiction for exemption matters lies exclusively with the Commissioner (Exemption).
The Tribunal ruled that exemption for charitable trusts cannot be denied merely due to belated filing of Form 10B. It reaffirmed that the requirement is directory, not mandatory, when the audit report is eventually furnished.
Payments to AwasBandhu were allowed as application of income. The Tribunal held such statutory contributions further public purposes and cannot be treated as non-business or taxable expenses.
The Tribunal held that inadvertent mistakes in filing Form 10AB cannot defeat a trust’s right to exemption. Registration was directed where objects and activities were never disputed.
ITAT Ahmedabad held that the assessee is entitled to the benefit of indexed cost of acquisition while computing book profit under section 115JB of the Income Tax Act. Accordingly, AO directed to recompute book profit after allowing indexation.
Registration was denied as activities allegedly exceeded declared aims. The Tribunal held that pending amendment justified remand for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal held that the six-month timeline under section 12A(1)(ac)(iii) does not apply to existing trusts. Final registration cannot be rejected merely on alleged delay.
The Tribunal held that incorrect selection of a clause while filing Form 10AB is a technical and curable defect under the new registration regime. Applications for registration and approval were restored for fresh adjudication on merits.
Expanded grounds for cancellation now include legal non-compliance and incorrect disclosures. Trusts must treat accuracy and governance as mission-critical.
