What were the issues?

1. Whether the petitioner, M/s Kerala State Ex-Services League, is entitled to exemption from income tax under Section 10(23C)(iv) of the Income Tax Act, 1961, for the assessment year(s) in question. Assessee's Contention: The petitioner likely argued that it fulfills the conditions for exemption under Section 10(23C)(iv) as it is an institution established for a charitable purpose and its income is applied solely for such purpose. They would have contended that the authorities erred in denying the exemption. Revenue's Contention: The revenue authorities likely contended that the petitioner does not meet the criteria for exemption under Section 10(23C)(iv). This could be due to reasons such as the institution not being solely for a charitable purpose, or its income not being exclusively applied for charitable purposes, or the institution not being approved by the prescribed authority. The revenue would have supported the denial of exemption.
