The new law replaces time-bound approvals with continuous compliance monitoring for charitable entities. Registration now survives only if organisations consistently meet prescribed conditions.
ITAT held that absence of an explicit irrevocability or dissolution clause is not a valid ground to deny registration under Section 12AB. The ruling directs grant of registration and consequential 80G approval.
The Tribunal noted that registration was denied due to failure to submit building and safety approvals. It remanded the matter, holding that a fair opportunity must be given before rejecting charitable registration.
When an entity served both its members and the public, the dominant object test applies. If the regulatory functions lead to borrower protection and financial stability for low-income groups, the GPU status was maintainable.
The tribunal held that systematic sports training and self-defence instruction to students constitute education under Section 2(15). As activities were charitable and genuine, denial of registration under Sections 12AB and 80G was set aside.
The approach differs for pending, rejected, or delayed applications. Trusts must choose the right remedy based on procedural position.
The Tribunal held that delay due to lack of awareness and administrative oversight constituted sufficient cause. It set aside the rejection as the condonation request was not considered and remanded the case.
The Tribunal held that absence of charitable activities at the time of application does not make a trust non-genuine. The key takeaway is that proposed activities and charitable objects must be considered for registration.
The Court set aside rejection of registration based solely on absence of an irrevocability or dissolution clause. It clarified that such conditions are not prescribed under law and cannot be imposed by authorities.
ITAT held that exemption under Section 11 cannot be denied via rectification under Section 154 for alleged delay in filing Form 10B. The issue involved disputed facts and prior acceptance, making Section 154 invocation invalid.
