CIT v. Rao Bahadur Calavala Cunnan Chetty Charities

135 ITR 485High Court1982#1146 most cited

What is CIT v. Rao Bahadur Calavala Cunnan Chetty Charities authority for?

The income of a charitable trust, particularly income from property held under trust, for the purpose of claiming exemption under Section 11, must be computed in a normal commercial manner, without strict reference to the computation provisions for different heads of income like Section 14 or Section 24(a). This approach ensures that the income available for application or accumulation is assessed on commercial principles.
