The Tribunal ruled that exemption under Sections 11 and 12 cannot be denied by aggregating separate shareholdings to invoke Section 13(2)(e). It held that no office bearer individually held substantial interest, making the addition unsustainable.
The High Court quashed the rejection of a university’s Section 10(46) application because no opportunity of hearing was granted. It held that prior exemptions under other provisions do not bar independent consideration.
The Tribunal clarified that under the pre-amended law, accumulated income could be applied within five years or the immediately following year. Utilization within the sixth year barred taxation in AY 2023-24.
The Tribunal ruled that failure to examine whether payees discharged tax liability vitiates proceedings under Section 201. The case was sent back to the AO to verify compliance and re-decide the issue.
The High Court held that delayed filing of Form 10B is a procedural lapse and does not justify denial of charitable exemption. Trusts otherwise compliant with audit requirements remain eligible for Section 11 benefits.
ITAT Bangalore held that once the genuineness of the building construction expenditure is proved, the consequential claim of depreciation on such genuine assets cannot be denied to trust since depreciation was claimed only on actual assets used for charitable purpose.
The tribunal held that amounts already disclosed and taxed as accommodated receipts cannot be taxed again under another head. Separate additions were deleted as they resulted in impermissible double taxation.
The issue was whether reassessment completed after a court stay complied with statutory timelines. The Tribunal held that limitation resumes from the date the stay is vacated, rendering the reassessment time-barred.
The tax authorities disallowed Bhandara expenses assuming a religious character without concrete evidence. The Tribunal held that mere suspicion cannot override the accepted fact of food being provided to the needy.
The Tribunal ruled that interest earned on Government grants parked under official directions cannot be divorced from the original grant. Denial of exemption was found to defeat the purpose of section 10(23C)(iiiab), leading to relief for the assessee.
