The Tribunal held that limited religious spending within 5% does not bar 80G approval. The key takeaway is that incidental religious activity does not negate charitable status.

The Tribunal held that absence of commenced activities is not a valid ground to deny registration where objects are charitable and proposed activities align with them.
ITAT held that absence of an irrevocability clause cannot justify rejection of 80G approval. The case was remanded to CIT(E) to reconsider in line with binding High Court ruling.
ITAT Bangalore held CSR trust denial unjustified, ruling donation genuineness proven and no 3-year track record needed. Directed grant of Section 12AB registration and 80G approval.
The issue was whether a new trust can be denied registration due to lack of activities. The tribunal held that proposed charitable activities must be considered, and non-commencement alone is not a valid ground for rejection.
The case examined whether delayed filing of Form 10/10B invalidates exemption under section 11(2). The Tribunal held that procedural delays do not defeat substantive claims, directing allowance of exemption.
The case addressed whether charging fees negates charitable status. The Tribunal held that this alone cannot justify rejection and ordered re-examination of the application with proper analysis.
