The Tribunal held that the application under Form 10AB ought to have been filed under clause 80G(5)(i), and the selection of 80G(5)(ii) was a procedural error. However, the Tribunal also noted that the assessee should have been more vigilant when making the application. Despite this, the Tribunal considered that registration under section 12AB(1)(b) was granted on the same date as the impugned order and that the assessee was not put to notice regarding the charge under section 80G(5B). The Tribunal found that the show cause notice did not raise the issue of 80G(5B).

Regarding the classification of objects as religious, the Tribunal set aside the matter to the CIT(E) to allow the assessee an opportunity to explain the educational and moral aspects of its trust objects and the nature of expenditures incurred, especially when the revenue representative had no objection. Finally, where an application was rejected for expenditures not being for the trust's objects, the Tribunal set aside the matter to the CIT(E) to grant the assessee an opportunity to furnish details of expenditures and explain how they fulfilled the trust's objects, before deciding on merits.
The Tribunal held that in cases where the CIT(E) rejected an application for registration under Section 12A due to the department's own inaction in deciding a previously set-aside matter for over 12 years, the application should be deemed to have been allowed. The assessee cannot be penalized for the department's failure to act within the prescribed timelines. The CIT(E) was directed to examine the current application under present law after hearing the assessee. In another instance, where the CIT(E) rejected an application due to delay in filing Form 10AB without condoning it, the Tribunal directed the CIT(E) to condone the delay and decide the application on merits, acknowledging the Commissioner's power to condone delays. Regarding the classification of objects as religious, the Tribunal set aside the matter to the CIT(E) to allow the assessee an opportunity to explain the educational and moral aspects of its trust objects and the nature of expenditures incurred, especially when the revenue representative had no objection. Finally, where an application was rejected for expenditures not being for the trust's objects, the Tribunal set aside the matter to the CIT(E) to grant the assessee an opportunity to furnish details of expenditures and explain how they fulfilled the trust's objects, before deciding on merits.
The Tribunal held that the assessee failed to furnish necessary details and evidence regarding the transactions, and the department had discharged its initial burden of proof. Therefore, the addition made by the AO was upheld.
The Tribunal admitted additional evidence, including the death certificate and purchase deed, and restored the matter to the Assessing Officer for de novo assessment. The AO was directed to bring legal representatives on record and examine the evidence.
The Tribunal held that the assessee was not given a proper and effective opportunity of being heard. Dismissing the appeal on a one-day delay without considering the merits was not justified.
