ITAT Mumbai held that courses not having any approval or affiliation with any authority cannot be ground to hold that the purpose is not charitable. Accordingly, benefit of exemption under section 11 of the Income Tax Act granted since activity of imparting education within meaning of section 2(15).
ITAT Ahmedabad rules that a charitable trust’s exemption under Sections 11 and 12 cannot be denied due to a technical mismatch in reporting new 12AB registration in the ITR. The substantive validity of the original 12A registration ensures continuity of exemption.
Tribunal condoned a 111-day delay citing sufficient cause and held that rejection of 12AB registration without effective hearing required reconsideration. Matter remanded for a fresh decision.
The Tribunal held that section 13(1)(b) did not apply to a trust formed before 1961 and directed grant of registration. The key issue was whether activities for a Scheduled Caste community invalidated the application.
The Tribunal directed fresh examination of whether the government allocation received by the assessee constituted a corpus fund under section 11(1)(d). It held that the lower authorities had not properly considered the assessee’s submissions, requiring the matter to be verified afresh.
ITAT restored the matter to the Assessing Officer since the assessee’s application for delayed 12A registration and condonation under Section 119(2)(b) was still undecided. The ruling underscores that exemption eligibility must be re-examined only after the competent authority disposes of the registration request.
The Tribunal held that exemption under section 11 cannot be denied solely for delayed uploading of Form 10B, treating the lapse as procedural and directing allowance of exemption.
ITAT Delhi held that rebate and concession in fees to poor student claimed as donation is in accordance with object of the trust and hence deletion of disallowance of donation by CIT(A) is justifiable. Accordingly, appeal of revenue dismissed.
ITAT held that charitable trusts without member-wise income shares cannot be taxed at 30% MMR. Tax must be applied at normal slab rates per CBDT Circular 320.
ITAT Pune held that rejection of application for registration under section 12A read with section 12AB of the Income Tax Act since exorbitant fees are being charged and profiteering is not allowed in educational institutes. Accordingly, appeal of assessee dismissed.
