2017 (1) TMI 520 - HC - Income TaxRenewal of approval under Section 80G (5) denied - as for the previous three years, the assessee has shown surpluses and, therefore, the CIT drew the conclusion that the activities of the assessee were in the nature of commercial enterprises and no charitable activity whatsoever was being pursued - Held that:- The word education utilised in the section stands independently on its own and to suggest that the word may be confined either to the rich or poor or any other strata of the society is not acceptable. The word education has been used in its widest term. It cannot be confined to any section, indeed education is something which is the birth right of every individual. To confine it to a certain group would not be fair in view of the definition as given in Section 2 (15) of the Income Tax Act and in view of the provisions of Section 10 ( 23C) of the Income Tax Act. It is abundantly clear that the assessee was clearly entitled to be granted exemption under Section 80G (5) of the Income Tax Act for the current year as it has been done in the previous year in view of the law and in view of the findings recorded. - Decided in favour of assessee
