ITAT Delhi held that Section 115BBDA applies only to Individuals, HUFs, and Firms. Dividend income of a registered trust remains fully exempt under Section 10(34), with the addition deleted.
The issue was whether a charitable trust could lose exemption due to late uploading of Form 10B. ITAT held that Form 10B is procedural and delay alone cannot defeat exemption when audit was completed in time.
ITAT Jaipur held that withdrawing approval under section 10(23C)(vi) of the Income Tax Act not justified in absence of any corroborative evidence of personal benefit of trustees and misuse of funds. Accordingly, appeal allowed and registration u/s. 10(23C)(vi) restored.
Tribunal rules that procedural delay in filing Form 10B does not bar exemption under sections 11 and 12, following Supreme Court guidance on procedural lapses.
The High Court allowed a religious society to submit delayed audit documents, citing the treasurer’s age and Covid-19 as valid reasons, directing authorities to reconsider exemption under Section 11.
ITAT held that exemption under section 11 cannot be denied where the audit report in Form 10B was filed before CPC processed the return, even if the return itself was belated.
The Tribunal held that building construction for future educational use qualifies as charitable activity. The rejection of 80G approval solely due to absence of active operations was ruled unjustified.
The ITAT Pune remanded a charitable trust’s 12A and 80G applications for fresh consideration after noting procedural lapses and granting the trust another opportunity to respond to notices.
Registration under section 80G was rejected due to a clause suggesting financial assistance abroad. Ruling: ITAT held application of income occurs in India. Key takeaway: Mere mention of foreign studies cannot block 80G registration.
The Supreme Court held that the corporate debtor’s alleged pre-existing dispute lacked any factual basis and reinstated NCLT’s CIRP admission. The ruling reaffirms that illusory or unsupported defences cannot defeat a Section 9 IBC claim.
