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 solar power generation under a CSR structure is not charitable when the dominant benefit accrues to a single corporate entity. The environmental activity must primarily benefit the public to qualify for Section 12AB registration.
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 Tribunal held that amendments to Section 11 cannot retrospectively curtail the utilization window for earlier accumulations. Existing accumulations remain governed by the law in force at the time they were made.
Holding that there was no real delay, the Tribunal directed grant of section 80G approval. The decision stresses practical and reasonable interpretation of filing timelines.
Recognising the non-commercial nature of a long-standing charitable trust, the Tribunal condoned the delay. The registration application was sent back for reconsideration on merits.
The dispute concerned denial of donor approval before finality of charitable registration. The Tribunal held that 80G approval is consequential and cannot be refused while 12AB registration is under re-examination.
The issue was whether final registration could be denied without granting a proper opportunity of hearing. The Tribunal held that rejection without a show-cause notice violates natural justice and remanded the matter for fresh consideration.
It was ruled that denial of registration merely because activities are at an initial stage is unjustified. The takeaway is that limited funds and phased implementation do not negate charitable intent.
The Tribunal ruled that minor delay in filing Form 10AB cannot justify rejection when law permits condonation. Commissioners must examine reasonable cause instead of dismissing applications on technical grounds.
