Expanded grounds for cancellation now include legal non-compliance and incorrect disclosures. Trusts must treat accuracy and governance as mission-critical.
The Tribunal ruled that trusts engaged mainly in education, medical aid, and public welfare remain eligible for 80G. Minor worship-related elements do not alter charitable character.
The Tribunal held that incorrect selection of a clause in Form 10AB is a curable clerical mistake. Registration applications cannot be rejected without examining the trust’s objects and activities on merits.
The Tribunal recognised that funds could not be used due to a High Court injunction. Such legally restrained non-utilisation cannot be treated as a statutory violation.
The Tribunal held that running coaching classes for substantial fees does not qualify as charitable education. In the absence of evidence of free or subsidized services, exemption under section 11 was rightly denied.
The issue was whether a religious object in the trust deed bars 80G approval. The Tribunal held that where actual activities are purely charitable and no religious expenditure is incurred, approval cannot be denied.
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 post–Finance Act, 2024, an 80G application can be filed any time after commencement of activities. Rejection solely for delay was set aside and the application was restored for fresh consideration.
The issue was whether religious objects alone could defeat an 80G claim. The Tribunal ruled that compliance with the 5% expenditure limit requires fresh examination.
Authorities cannot insist on adding an irrevocable clause in trust deeds for Section 12A renewal when the trust is otherwise legally irrevocable. Renewal should depend on substance, not form.
