ITAT upheld CIT(A)'s order regarding charitable trust's income accumulation under Section 11. The tribunal confirmed the trust's entitlement to accumulate 15% of income for subsequent charitable application, rejecting revenue's challenge. The key finding was that the trust adequately specified its accumulation purpose without requiring exhaustive detailed plans. The tribunal relied on precedential case law demonstrating that charitable trusts can accumulate income for specified charitable objectives, provided such accumulation aligns with the trust's core charitable purposes. The revenue's appeal was consequently dismissed, affirming the trust's compliance with statutory provisions governing income accumulation for charitable activities.
