Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, “D” BENCH, AHMEDABAD
Before: DR. B.R.R. KUMAR, VICE-Ms SUCHITRA KMBLE
PER DR. B.R.R. KUMAR, VICE-PRESIDENT:
-
Delay Condoned This appeal is filed by the Assessee against the appellate order dated 29.01.2026 passed by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemption), Ahmedabad, relating to the Assessment Year NA.
The assessee has raised the following grounds of appeal:
The order passed by the Ld.CIT(E) is against law, equity & justice.
The Ld.CIT(E) has erred in law and on facts in rejecting the provisional registration alleging as violation of clause(d) below explanation to section 12AB(4) of the Act.
The appellant craves liberty to add, amend, alter or modify all or any grounds of appeal before final appeal. Asst. Year : NA - 2–
The facts of the case are that the assessee is a Trust and had applied for registration under Form No.10AB under the provisions of the Act. The Ld. CIT(E) rejected the application for registration u/s.12A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, on the ground that the assessee-trust failed to furnish the requisite details/explanation and to establish the genuineness of its activities.
Aggrieved by the order of the Ld. CIT(E), the Assessee filed appeal before the Tribunal.
At the outset, we find that notices were issued from time to time to furnish details/documents as called for. The Ld.CIT(E) rejected the application of the assessee on the ground that the assessee-trust remained non compliant and failed to produce substantial documents before the Ld.CIT(E). Therefore, the Ld. Counsel prayed that given an opportunity, the same would be apprised to the Ld.CIT(E). Ld. CIT(DR) argued that the assessee-trust needs to furnish requisite details/explanations and submissions before the Ld. CIT(E). Having considered the facts on record, we hold that interests of justice would be well served by remanding the matter to the Ld. CIT(E) for consideration of the application afresh and to pass an order by taking into consideration the submissions /explanations submitted by the assessee. Asst. Year : NA - 3–
In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes.
The order is pronounced in the open Court on 30.04.2026. (SUCHITRA KAMBLE) VICE-PRESIDENT () Ahmedabad; Dated 30.04.2026 MV
