2016 (2) TMI 569 - AT - Income TaxRegistration petition u/s. 80G(5) denied - Section 12AA registration - whether the assessee can be held to be a religious trust not entitled for 80G registration or not. We have already summarized arguments of both the parties? - Held that:- We take into account the assessee's objects and activities performed, draw strength from co-ordinate bench decision hereinabove and hold that the same are not expressed to be for benefit of a particular religious community or caste. It is to be seen that the assessee has provided kites for distribution in general public, carried out free medical check-up, distributed provisions, run music school, planted trees, provided lunch to children, started library, supplied food and clothes to flood victims, carried out dental check up, lunch for orphanage, paid needy children fees, offered free medical aid to poor for treatment of cancer, free check up diabetes and blood pressure, organize teaching class, and distributed books. The paper books comprise of photographs and letters which have gone un-rebutted in the course of argument. We quote all this material and findings on record to hold that the assessee is not an institution expressed to be for the benefit of any particular religious community or caste u/s. 80G(5)(iii) or having any purpose the whole or substantially the whole of which is of religious nature under explanation 3 therein. We accept assessee's arguments and reject those raised at Revenue's behest. The assessee's registration petition u/s. 80G(5) succeeds accordingly. - Decided in favour of assessee
