Facts

The assessee, Shree Dewan Shiksha Samiti, appealed the CIT(E)'s rejection of its application for 80G registration. The CIT(E) cited multiple reasons, including discrepancies in land ownership/lease versus building construction, continuous surplus and increase in fixed assets, unexplained cash deposits during demonetization, high fee structure along with significant donations, and the assessee's failure to provide requested documents and clarifications regarding various financial aspects and activities.

Held

The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal upheld the CIT(E)'s decision, finding that the assessee failed to satisfy the requirements for 80G approval under the Income Tax Act and Rule 11AA. The Tribunal noted that no material or submission was brought forth to contradict the CIT(E)'s findings, and the assessee's activities were not in line with its stated aims and objects, despite having 12AA registration.

Key Issues

Rejection of application for 80G registration due to lack of justification for activities, non-compliance with information requests, and discrepancies in financial reporting including fixed assets and cash deposits.
