Madras High Court held that a trust’s legitimate tax exemption cannot be denied merely for delay in filing Form 10B, directing the Assessing Officer to allow benefits under Section 12A.
In a ruling on non-maintainability, the ITAT found the CIT(E) erred by cancelling the society’s 12A(1)(ac) application merely through an intimation without granting a mandatory hearing. The case has been sent back for a decision on merits.
The Kerala High Court stayed tax recovery against an association, ruling that the NFAC must decide the pending appeal in light of the assessee’s restored Section 12A registration. The assessment order was based on the premise of cancellation, which the ITAT had since set aside.
ITAT Chandigarh upheld rejection of Endocrine And Breast Surgery Foundation’s Section 12A registration, ruling its activities were unethical and focused on networking with pharma companies rather than genuine charitable work.
Chhattisgarh High Court dismissed Revenue’s appeal, ruling that an existing and operational registration under Section 12AA makes grant of Section 80G approval mandatory. The court held that once 12AA status is granted, further inquiry into application for 80G is unnecessary, citing Supreme Court precedent.
Since the Form 10B was filed along with the return of income and within the due date of filing the return of income, the delay in filing the Form 10B could not be a ground for denial of the exemptions under Sections 11 and 12.
ITAT Chennai set aside the rejection of an 80G registration application, holding that the prescribed timelines are directory, not mandatory. The Tribunal directed the CIT(E) to process the delayed application on its merits under the amended law.
ITAT Surat allowed Goverdhan Nathji Pare Bethakji Seva Trust’s appeal, setting aside CIT(E)’s ex parte rejection of its trust registration application. Tribunal condoned a 24-day delay and restored matter to CIT(E) for a fresh order after granting a reasonable opportunity of hearing to assessee.
ITAT Chandigarh allows the appeal of Ram Gopal Temple Trust against the CIT(E)’s rejection of its Section 12A registration application, holding that a statute-notified religious institution is not required to furnish a trust deed.
ITAT Jaipur held that denial of Section 11 exemption solely due to non-furnishing of the registration certificate under Section 12A is invalid where 80G approval exists, since 80G presupposes valid 12AA registration.
