ITO(E)-1(1), MUMBAI, MUMBAI vs. BHAVITHA FOUNDATION, MUMBAI
What did the Tribunal hold?
The Tribunal held that dividend income earned on shares donated as corpus, with a direction to treat it as part of the corpus, should also be considered as corpus donation. The CIT(A) correctly followed the precedent set by the Supreme Court in a similar case.

What were the issues?
Whether dividend income derived from shares donated as corpus, with a direction to treat it as corpus, is eligible for exemption under Section 11. Whether the investment in shares is a specified mode under Section 11(5).
