M/S BHUTORIA MEMORIAL TRUST,KOLKATA vs. CIT(EXEMPTIONS), KOLKATA, KOLKATA

The captioned appeal filed by the Assessee, is directed against an order passed by the ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions) Kolkata, Under Section 80G (5) (vi) [ CIT (E)/Kol/80G/2015-16/5726 ], dated 14.03.2016. The ld CIT( Exemptions) cancelled the registration of the trust U/s 80G (5) observing that assessee`s trust Registration U/s 12AA (3) had already been cancelled. That is, since the registration of the Trust U/s 12AA(3) had cancelled therefore, the assessee trust is not entitled to enjoy the registration U/s 80G (5) of the Act and therefore, ld CIT(Exemptions) cancelled the registration with effect from 01.04.2011.

Aggrieved from the order of ld CIT(E), the assessee trust is in appeal before us and prayed the Bench that Hon`ble ITAT Kolkata in dated 14.09.2016 ( in assessee`s trust own appeal) has granted the relief to the assessee trust and held the ld CIT (E) was not justified in cancelling the registration U/s 12AA(3) & 12AA(4) of the Income Tax Act. Therefore, the registration earlier cancelled U/s 12AA(3) & 12AA(4) of the Income Tax Act, has been restored because of the Hon,ble Tribunal order in ITA No. 537/Kol/2016 (supra) and therefore, the registration of assessee trust U/s 12AA is valid and effective. 3. Both the parties are heard and records have been perused. We are of the view that since the registration of assessee’s trust U/s 12AA is valid and effective therefore we cancel the order passed by the ld CIT(E) U/s 80G (5) of the Act [CIT (E)/Kol/80G/2015-16/5726], dated 14.03.2016 and direct the CIT(E) to grant approval u/s.80G(5) to the assessee. 4. In the result, the appeal filed by the assessee trust, is allowed. Order pronounced in the open court on this 26/04/2017. Sd/- Sd/- (N.V. VASUDEVAN) (DR.
