It is not easy to reconcile the exemptions / benefits available under various tax laws at once. The exemption under various tax laws at various times are conditional one or subject to certain specific conditions. For an example exemption in the hands of charitable educational institution may be different from exemption allowed to medical institutions. You need to see individual provisions and references according to the nature of institution and purpose of the exemption.
