Bhole Bhandari Charitable Trust v. CIT From the proviso attached to the section 293C of the Act, it is crystal clear that even if any Income-tax Authority wants to withdraw approval, he shall issue a show-cause notice against the proposed withdrawal to the assessee concerned and after giving a reasonable opportunity of being heard shall withdraw approval after recording reasons for doing so.
The Hon’ble Gujarat High Court in the case of N.N. Desai Charitable Trust (supra) while deliberating upon the scope of enquiry for the purpose of granting of recognition u/s.80G of the Act opined that it does not envisage the commissioner to act as an assessing authority because the actual assessment of institution would not ultimately effect the claim for deduction u/s. 80G qua the donors.
Currently, there is no provision in either of the aforesaid sections specifying the mode of payment of money. Therefore, it is proposed to amend sections 80G and 80GGA so as specify therein that any payment exceeding a sum of ten thousand rupees shall only be allowed as a deduction if such sum is paid by any mode other than cash.
Ina Raja Memorial Education Trust Vs DIT (Exemptions) – (ITAT Delhi) – In this case, the assessee made an application on 24.2.2011 in Form No. 10G, seeking renewal of exemption u/s 80G of the Act, which has been rejected by the ld. CIT(A) by observing that the assessee has failed to furnish bills/vouchers of expenses and certain other details as stated by him in para 2 of his order. In this connection, it is pertinent to note that proviso to clause (vi) of Section 80(G) sub-section (5) has been omitted by the Finance Act (No. 2) 2009 w.e.f. 1.10.2009.
If the facts of the case are tested on the ratio of aforesaid decisions, in our considered opinion, the Id. Commissioner cannot deny renewal of registration on the ground that the assessee had claimed double deduction in respect of depreciation as well as capital expenditure i or had not applied the requisite income for the objects. If the assessee had claimed certain depreciation to which it was not entitled the recognition under section 80-G cannot be denied.
The government has clarified that institutions like NGOs, charitable institutions and others who are eligible for tax benefits and can also issue tax benefit receipts to those paying donations would not need to renew their status unless it is withdra
Circular No. 7/2010 The Board has received various references from the field formations as well as members of public about the period of validity of approvals granted by the Chief Commissioners of Income Tax or Directors General of Income Tax under sub-clauses (iv), (v), (vi) and (via) of Section 10(23C) and by the Commissioners of Income Tax or Directors of Income Tax under Section 80G (5) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Notification No. 68 /2010-Income Tax In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (c) of sub-section (2) of section 80G of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (43 of 1961), the Central Government hereby specifies “Archery Association of India”, New Delhi, as the association, for the purposes of said clause for the assessment years 2010-11 to 2012-2013.
The Income Tax Act, 1961, before amendment by Finance Act, 2010, allowed a weighted deduction of 125% for any sum paid out of business income to a university, college or other institution in case the amount is used for scientific research. Similar weighted deduction of 125% was also allowed for any sum paid out of business income to a national laboratory or a university or Indian Institute of Technology for the purpose of an approved scientific research programme.
Income derived from property held under trust or of an institution (‘trust’) wholly for charitable/religious purpose is exempt, if 85% of the income is spent on the objects of the trust, during the year. If the amount spent is less than 85% of the income, the shortfall is taxable, unless the trust has complied with the conditions mentioned in the table below.
