Charitable Trust Wins Tax Exemption Claim with Bonafide Intent and Proper Fund Utilization Under Section 11(1)(a)

May 23, 2025

Case Laws     Income Tax     AT

ITAT allowed the charitable trust's exemption claim under Section 11(1)(a). The tribunal found the assessee's income tax return error was bonafide and did not invalidate the legitimate charitable purpose deduction. Referencing prior judicial precedent, specifically the Krishi Upaj Mandi Samiti case, the tribunal determined that expenditure from accumulated charitable funds for charitable purposes qualifies for tax exemption. The trust's Section 12A registration further supported granting the claimed tax benefit. The Appellate Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to implement the exemption as claimed, thereby allowing the assessee's appeal and upholding the trust's charitable income tax treatment.
