ITAT Amritsar upheld rejection of 12AB registration after finding that only ₹2.51 lakhs out of ₹40 lakhs received was spent on charitable activities. The Tribunal held that minimal charity expenditure and dominant non-charitable spending justified denial of registration.
Authorities now scrutinize NGO financial statements before granting or renewing registration. Proper documentation and clear charitable application of surplus are critical.
ITAT Mumbai ruled that registration under section 12AB cannot be refused based on apprehended future application of funds or possible violations. The Tribunal held that the authority must restrict examination to objects and genuineness of activities, restoring the matter for fresh consideration.
The Tribunal held that the scope of enquiry at the registration stage is limited to objects and genuineness of activities. The application was remanded after the trust undertook to delete clauses permitting overseas fund use.
The Tribunal upheld disallowance of political donation deductions where the assessee failed to prove genuineness and the transactions were linked to suspected accommodation entries. The ruling reinforces the burden on taxpayers to substantiate claims under section 80GGC with credible evidence.
ITAT Mumbai held that deeming fiction of section 50C cannot be extended while working out the written down value [WDV] for the purpose of claiming depreciation on the block of asset. In other words, legal fiction for substantiating the sale consideration by the Stamp Duty Value created under either section 50 or section 43CA cannot be extended to section 32 for claiming depreciation on the block of the asset. Thus, order set aside.
ITAT Bangalore held that at the relevant time co-founder of Flipkart stayed in India for 141 days and balance days in other countries. Hence, assessee is an Indian national and thus the appeal of the assessee is dismissed.
The ruling addressed whether a delayed application could survive after statutory change. The Tribunal directed fresh consideration by applying the liberalized timeline introduced by Finance Act, 2024.
The Tribunal emphasized that registration decisions must consider all relevant evidence. Mechanical rejection without full appraisal was held unsustainable.
The Tribunal ruled that maintaining a temple or holding festivals does not disqualify a trust if substantial funds are spent on public welfare. Authorities must examine actual expenditure patterns, not assumptions.
