The ITAT Mumbai set aside the PCIT’s revisionary order, holding that the AO’s decision to allow Section 80G deduction on voluntarily disallowed CSR expenses was a plausible view.

The ITAT Delhi affirmed the grant of Section 11 exemption to a charitable society, ruling that if the Assessing Officer fails to make a mandatory reference to the DVO to question a valuation, the registered valuer’s report must be accepted.
