Rejection of approvals u/s 80G - approval application filed belatedly - The Tribunal noted that the CBDT had extended deadlines for filing applications for registration or approval in light of genuine hardships faced by charitable entities. This was a significant consideration, indicating a recognition of practical difficulties and an intent to mitigate them. The Tribunal held that the timelines prescribed under clause (iii) of the first proviso to section 80G(5) should be treated as directory rather than mandatory, especially in light of the transitional nature of amendments introduced by the Taxation and Other Laws (Relaxation and Amendment of Certain Provisions) Act, 2020.
