Facts
The assessee trust's application for registration under section 12AB of the Income-tax Act was rejected by the CIT(E) due to incomplete documentation and non-furnishing of required details, particularly concerning expenditure on properties. The assessee failed to respond adequately to multiple notices and a reminder.
Held
The Tribunal observed that the rejection was based solely on non-compliance. Adhering to principles of natural justice, the assessee was granted one more opportunity to submit the required information. The impugned order was set aside, and the matter was remanded to the CIT(E) for fresh consideration.
Key Issues
Whether the rejection of the registration application due to non-compliance was justified, and if the assessee should be granted a further opportunity to furnish details.
