Since the issues involved in

2.

The ld. CIT(E) in para 3 of his order has given the findings as follows:

“3. However, the assessee has failed to furnish the registration copy evidencing registration prior to 01.04.2021, despite opportunity being provided. In the absence of proof of registration prior to 01.04.2021, the assesse's application for renewal of the said registration cannot be considered since the assessee registration from AY 2022-23 to AY 2026-27 itself is not valid registration.”

3.

Even before the Tribunal also, the assessee has not been able to produce any evidence to rebut the findings of the ld. CIT(E). At the time of hearing, the ld. AR was also requested to produce income and expenditure account and explained the charitable nature of the activity of the assessee. It was submitted by the ld. AR that they do not have the income and expenditure statement at present. It was then informed to the ld. AR that as the details were not produced before the ld. CIT(E), it is told that if the appeals are sent to the ld. CIT(E) for readjudication then exemplary costs will be imposed. The ld. AR refused the same and said that they have no objection if the matter is dismissed.

4.

Consequently, the appeals filed by the assessee are rejected as the assessee has been unable to substantiate its claim for registration u/s 12A/80G and as the assessee has been unable to

CIT(E) or before the Tribunal. All the captioned appeals filed by the assessee stand dismissed.
