BHAKTI KALA KSHETRA,MUMBAI vs. DIT (E), MUMBAI
What did the Tribunal hold?
The Tribunal condoned the delay in filing the appeal due to the chief accountant's ill health. It set aside the DIT's order cancelling registration, finding the cancellation to be wrongly done. The issue of whether the activities were hit by Section 2(15) was left open for the AO.
What were the facts?
The DIT(Exemption) cancelled the assessee trust's registration under Section 12AA(3) due to its activities being considered commercial and thus hit by the proviso to Section 2(15). The assessee appealed, citing a lack of opportunity and arguing that auditorium receipts were in furtherance of its charitable objects.
What were the issues?
Whether the DIT erred in cancelling the registration without a proper opportunity and whether the trust's activities constituted business, rendering it non-charitable under Section 2(15).
Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?
Section 12AA(3),Section 12A,Section 11,Section 2(15),Section 80G
