Tribunal Overturns Disallowed Expenses for Charitable Trust; Payments Found Justified and in Line with Market Value.

May 22, 2024

Case Laws     Income Tax     AT

The ITAT Delhi assessed a charitable trust's expenses, including payments to a sister entity for business support services and commission to consultants. The AO disallowed expenses under section 13(3) of the Income Tax Act, alleging violation of conditions under section 13(2)(g). However, the trust demonstrated that the expenses were justified and commensurate with market value. Disallowance of faculty salary due to lack of qualifications was unfounded as the trust employed qualified individuals. Payment of commission and expenses on computers to students were deemed reasonable based on evidence provided. The tribunal found the AO's orders unsustainable and not legally sound.
