The captioned two appeals have been preferred by assessee against the separate order of the Commissioner of Income Tax
P a g e | 2 ITA Nos. 1635 & 1636/JPR/2025 Magma Charitable Trust
(Exemptions), Jaipur (hereinafter referred to as “the Ld. CIT(E)”) dated 23.09.2025. ITA No.1635/JP/2025 is against the rejection of the application u/s 12AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (in short ‘Act’), whereas, ITA No.1636/JP/2025 is against the rejection of the application u/s 80G of the Act.
At the outset, the ld. AR for the assessee has submitted that the ld. CIT(E) has dismissed the applications of the assessee observing that the address of the assessee was not verifiable at the given address. He therefore, observed that since the assessee was not found present at the given address, and hence, the genuineness of the activities of the assessee could not be verified. The ld. AR of the assessee has submitted that the assessee during the pendency of the proceedings had changed its address and the new address was duly intimated to the Ld. CIT(E), however, the same perhaps, escaped the attention of the ld. CIT(E). She has submitted that the assessee will again furnish the new address to the ld. CIT(E), wherefrom the existence, identity and activities of the assessee can be well verified.
Considering the above submissions, both the impugned orders of the ld. CIT(E) are set aside and the matter in both the appeals is restored to file of the ld. CIT(E) for decision afresh. Needless to say, that the Ld. CIT(E) will give proper and adequate opportunity to the assessee to present its case and verify the new address, if so required, and
P a g e | 3 ITA Nos. 1635 & 1636/JPR/2025 Magma Charitable Trust
thereafter, decide both the applications of the assessee in accordance with law.
In the result, both the appeals of the assessee are treated as allowed for statistical purposes.
Order is pronounced under provision of Rule 34 of ITAT Rules, 1963 on 08/06/2026.
