Delay of three years in filing of application for registration under section 12A was condonable as assessee which was enjoying exemption from income-tax from its inception was suddenly faced with the prospect of being made liable under the taxing statute and due to same, assessee had filed applications under Section 12AA with considerable delay.
Non-disposal of an application for registration, by granting or refusing registration, before the expiry of six months as provided under section 12AA(2) would not result in deemed grant of registration,

CIT Vs M/s. Annadan trust (Kerala High Court) The sub-contract of the assessee cannot be considered to be a charitable activity, especially since the supply of food is with the funds of the State Government, received by the assessee as contract amounts. The activity of the assessee confined to such sub-contracts cannot be deemed to be a charitable activity and […]
It cannot be concluded on the basis that the assessee had not filed its income tax returns in earlier years that the activities of the assessee were not genuine. There was no dispute that the objects of the assessee-society were not charitable or the activities of assessee were not being carried on in accordance with the stated objectives of imparting education for which it was established. Mere generation of surplus from year to year could not be basis to hold that assessee existed for the purpose of making profit. Therefore, denial of registration was not justified.
