he revision targeted 80G deduction and interest under TDS/TCS provisions. The Tribunal found that the Assessing Officer had examined both issues and no prejudice was shown.
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 Tribunal found that the Commissioner must consider condonation of delay under the amended section 12A. The rejection order was therefore set aside.
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.
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 issue was whether a trust with mixed charitable and religious objects could be denied 80G approval. The Tribunal held that composite trusts are eligible if religious expenditure stays within statutory limits, and directed grant of approval.
The issue was whether a delayed Form 10AB filing justified denial of charitable registration. The Tribunal held that bona fide delay due to transitional confusion and CBDT clarifications warranted condonation and fresh adjudication.
Emphasising substance over form, the ruling clarifies that genuine charitable trusts should not be denied renewal solely on procedural timelines where reasonable cause exists.
The Tribunal ruled that the six-month time limit from commencement of activities applies only to newly formed trusts. Long-standing trusts cannot be denied approval solely on this ground.
