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.
In the present case, the Commissioner does not speak of absence of a written constitution. The appellant also asserts that the constitution of the Generalate regulates the Houses also, which come under the Generalate. The Tribunal also found that the appellant comes under the exclusive control of the Generalate through the hierarchies as disclosed from the constitution and there could be no separate registration granted to the Convent.

Where the income of the assessee was exempt under section 11 and the assessee was not carried on the business, section 40(a)(ia) had no application.
