The Tribunal held that CSR expenditure disallowed under Section 37 does not bar deduction under Section 80G. Donations to eligible institutions remain deductible unless specifically excluded by law.
The Tribunal held that corpus donations cannot be denied merely due to technical lapses like student collection or minor PAN errors. Donor intent and consistent treatment in books were sufficient to allow exemption under section 11(1)(d).
It was held that a proposed object-clause amendment cannot justify outright rejection of 80G renewal. What matters is actual application of funds, not a removable clause in the trust deed.
It was ruled that section 80G(5B) expressly permits limited religious expenditure up to 5% of total income. Denial of approval without examining actual expenditure was held to be legally unsustainable.
Karnataka High Court held that vocational training qualifies as education under section 2(15) of the Income Tax Act. Exemption under section 11 of the Income Tax Act allowed since surplus generated is used only for educational purposes. Accordingly, writ allowed.
The issue was whether utilisation of corpus donations for expenditure converts them into taxable income. The Tribunal held that corpus retains its exempt character when used as per donor directions and trust deed.

The Tribunal held that incorrect selection of a clause while filing Form 10AB is a technical and curable defect under the new registration regime. Applications for registration and approval were restored for fresh adjudication on merits.
