ORDER Per: Shri Saktijit Dey, V.P.:
The captioned appeals have been filed by the assessee challenging the orders passed by learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemption) [in short ‘CIT(E)], Jaipur rejecting assessee’s applications seeking registration under section 12AA/12AB of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (in short ‘the Act’) and approval under section 80G of the Act.
2 ITA No. 468 & 469/Jodh/2024 Asst. Year: NA
We have heard the parties and perused the materials on record. At the time of hearing, learned counsel appearing for the assessee submitted that subsequent to order dated 31-3-2024 passed by learned CIT(E) rejecting assessee’s application seeking renewal of registration, there has been further development and vide order dated 21-3-2026, learned CIT(E) Jaipur has granted registration under section 12AB of the Act for the Assessment Years 2027-28 to 2036-37. A copy of the order so passed has been placed on record.
Considering the fact that the competent authority has granted registration to the assessee upto Assessment Year 2036-37, we treat the present appeal, being ITA No. 268/Jodh/2024 as infructuous.
Insofar as ITA No. 469/Jodh/2024, on rejection of application seeking approval under section 80G of the Act. Since learned CIT(E) has granted registration under section 12AB of the Act to the assessee up to the Assessment Year 2036-37, in our view, there should not be any impediment in granting approval under section 80G of the Act to the assessee. Accordingly, we direct learned CIT(E) to grant approval under section 80G of the Act to the assessee, subject to, fulfilment of other conditions prescribed under Section 80G of the Act.
3 ITA No. 468 & 469/Jodh/2024 Asst. Year: NA 5. In the result, ITA No. 468/Jodh/2024 is dismissed and ITA No. 469/Jodh/2024 is allowed.
Order pronounced in open court on 07/08/2026.
