1.

Aggrieved by rejection of an application filed in Form No.10AB seeking registration u/s 80G(5)(iii) by Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemption) vide impugned order dated 29-11-2023, the assessee is in further appeal before us. The Registry has noted delay of 52 days in the appeal which stand condoned.

2.

Upon perusal of impugned order, it could be seen that Ld. CIT(E) has rejected the application on the ground that the application was not filed within prescribed timeline. Further, there was no extension for filing of this form. 3. We find that the time limit to file such applications have been extended by CBDT vide recent Circular No.07/24 dated 25-04-2024 extending time limit for all such applications to 30-06-2024. Therefore, there remain no grounds for rejection of application by raising the issue of timeline. 4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, we set aside the impugned order and direct Ld. CIT(E) to consider the application on merits without raising the issue of timeline. 5. The appeal stand allowed for statistical purposes in terms of our above order. Order pronounced on 21st May, 2024.
