23/12AA/10722 in Form No.10AD to Ld. CIT(E) seeking registration u/s 80G(5). Ld. CIT(E) decided the same vide order dated 15.02.2023 whereby the assessee’s application has been rejected summarily without any decision on merit for the reason that the assessee has not submitted registration- certificate u/s 12A/12AA/12AB which is a pre-requisite for grant of registration u/s 80G(5). Aggrieved, the assessee has filed this appeal.
Ld. AR placed on record the copy of latest order dated 24.09.2021, passed by PCIT/CIT by which registration has been granted to assessee from A.Y. 2022-23 to A.Y. 2026-27 under the latest operative provisions of section 12A/12AA/12AB of the act. Ld. AR also filed a copy of earlier order dated 14.08.2015 passed by CIT(E) by which registration was granted to assessee from 01.04.2014 under then operative provisions of section 12AA of the act. Copies of these orders are scanned below for a ready reference:-

CIT(E) rejecting assessee’s application for grant of registration u/s 80G(5) should be set-aside with a direction to reconsider the application of assessee on merit.
Ld. DR representing the Revenue fairly agreed to the prayer of assessee.
In view of above submissions of parties, we are inclined to set aside the impugned order passed by the CIT(E) and remand this case back to CIT (E) for re-consideration of assessee’s application on merit in accordance with law. Ordered accordingly.
Resultantly, this appeal of assessee is allowed in terms indicated above.
Order pronounced in the open court on 21/06/2023.
