The assessee-trust received a premium for leasing land and invested the amount in a time deposit with a bank.

The court clarified that section 11 deals with income from property held for charitable or religious purposes. It was emphasized that investment in a scheduled bank, as per section 11(5)(iii), is a valid form of investing money for charitable purposes. The court further explained that a fixed term deposit in a scheduled bank qualifies as a capital asset, aligning with the provisions of section 11(1A.The court found no merit in the Revenue's plea, affirming that the trust's actions were in accordance with the law. It was concluded that the appeal lacked substance and was therefore dismissed.
