The High Court held that exemption under Section 11 cannot be denied merely because Form 10 was filed belatedly. The key takeaway is that substantive tax benefits for charitable trusts prevail over procedural lapses.
It was held that sale consideration from trust property, when donated to charitable institutions, cannot be taxed as income. The ruling confirms protection for genuine charitable application of capital receipts.
The Tribunal held that Section 56(2)(viib) could not be applied once the assessee qualified as a company in which the public are substantially interested. The ruling clarifies that the charging provision itself fails where statutory exclusion applies.
The issue was a 44-day delay in filing Form 10B by a charitable trust. The Court held the delay was due to genuine hardship and directed acceptance of the form.
The AO disallowed a weighted deduction relying only on a subsequent CBDT list. ITAT ruled that factual verification and proof of bogus donation are mandatory before denying the claim.
The AO questioned genuineness and love and affection behind the gift. The ITAT held that once relationship and capacity are proved through documents, no addition can survive.
Where income admitted in section 153C proceedings is accepted in assessment, penalty still requires strict compliance with section 270A. Absence of a specific misreporting charge defeats penalty levy.
The Tribunal clarified that section 80G(2) applies to donor deductions, not trust registration. Since conditions under section 80G(5) were fulfilled, registration was directed to be granted.
The issue was whether software development and start-up consultancy could qualify as charitable purposes. The Tribunal held that such activities are commercial in nature and do not fall under section 2(15), justifying denial of registration.
The tribunal held that land registered in an individual’s name but fully paid by a society amounts to receipt of property without consideration. Such benefit is taxable as income under section 56(2)(vii).
