The income from non-members was offered to tax by assessee, whereas membership fee from its own members was claimed as exempt on the principle of mutuality. Assessee being a trade association of software industries, it’s main object is to promote and protect the interest of its members. Membership received from its own members came within the principle of mutuality. Once assessee is governed by principle of mutuality, even if there are difference class of members, some of whom are not entitled to vote, the club would not be cease to be governed by principle of mutuality.
Order under section 143(1) denying benefit of exemption under section 11 in case of granting of deemed registration by CIT after expiry of time limit of six months was contrary to the legal principles and thus, rejection of assessee’s application for rectification under section 154 was invalid.
Bharat Vikas Parishad Maharana Pratap Nyas Vs CIT (ITAT Delhi) After considering the rival submissions, we are of the view that Order under section 80G(5) denying approval to the assessee cannot be sustained in Law. It is not in dispute that assessee has been granted registration under section 12AA of the I.T. Act, 1961, by DIT […]

Section 12AA also provides for manner of cancellation of said […]
Where the exemption claimed under section 11 and 12 has been denied by the Assessing officer, what can be brought to tax is the net income in the hands of the assessee trust and not the gross receipts.
In the present case, the assessee trust has made ample efforts for procuring information from the Department regarding duplicate copy of registration certificate. The Department was not able to provide any copy of the registration certificate.
Thus, for a trust registered u/s 12AA of the Act to avail the benefit of exemption u/s 11 shall inter-alia file its return of income within the time allowed u/s 139 of the Act. Accordingly, orders u/s 143(1)(a) in those cases in which demand has been raised on this issue may please be rectified.
