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.
Registration was denied as activities allegedly exceeded declared aims. The Tribunal held that pending amendment justified remand for fresh adjudication.
Expanded grounds for cancellation now include legal non-compliance and incorrect disclosures. Trusts must treat accuracy and governance as mission-critical.
Objects benefiting specific communities or allowing overseas application of funds invite rejection. The ruling focus is on deed language, not intent.
The Tribunal upheld additions in search assessments where seized material and settled precedent supported the Revenue’s case. The ruling clarifies that group-level incriminating evidence can justify section 153A additions.
The issue was whether six years of search assessments could stand when the first appeal was dismissed ex-parte. ITAT held that denial of meaningful hearing violates natural justice and remanded the matters for fresh adjudication.
The Tribunal upheld cancellation after finding that funding practices influenced editorial content and political narratives. The ruling confirms that such conduct constitutes specified violations warranting loss of charitable status.
The tribunal dismissed the appeal as time-barred because no condonation petition was filed. Delay without explanation renders the appeal non-maintainable.
The Tribunal ruled that registration cannot be cancelled for non-maintenance of separate books when that allegation was never put to the assessee. Authorities must specify the exact clause of specified violation relied upon.
The Tribunal held that running coaching classes for substantial fees does not qualify as charitable education. In the absence of evidence of free or subsidized services, exemption under section 11 was rightly denied.
