(Exemption), [for short “CIT (Exemptions)”], Hyderabad, dated
21.03.2025 and 20.03.2025, wherein the latter had declined the registration/approval u/s. 12AB and u/s 80G(5) of the Income-tax Act,

2. The learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions) is not justified in rejecting the Application for Registration U/s. 12AB of the Income Tax Act on the ground that there is no response to the notices sent by him.
3. The learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions) should have appreciated that the Appellant Society has been running a school from the year 1962 and has been enjoying the Registration under the Income Tax Act for several years.

Society.”
3. Succinctly stated, the assessee society is registered with the
