The Tribunal allowed the appeal for statistical purposes, setting aside the Commissioner's order rejecting registration under section 12A of the Income Tax Act. The Tribunal directed the assessee to provide complete confirmation of donations and documentary evidence supporting their charitable activities, as the Commissioner did not doubt the charitable nature of the objects but found shortcomings in the evidence presented.

Issues:
1. Rejection of registration u/s. 12A of the Income Tax Act
2. Non-submission of confirmation of donations
3. Lack of evidence supporting charitable activities

Analysis:
1. The appeal challenged the rejection of registration u/s. 12A of the Income Tax Act by the Commissioner (Exemption) based on various grounds raised by the assessee. The Ld. AR contended that the observations made by the Commissioner were contrary to the record and that the assessee had provided relevant particulars and documentary evidence to support their application for registration.

2. The Ld. CIT DR argued that the rejection was based on multiple reasons, including the absence of confirmation of donations and lack of evidence supporting the claimed charitable activities. The Commissioner noted that the assessee failed to provide material to substantiate the charitable nature of their activities and the genuineness of their claims.

3. Upon reviewing the submissions and material on record, the Tribunal found that while the confirmation of donations was incomplete, the assessee had submitted some confirmations promptly. The Tribunal also noted that the Commissioner did not specifically request evidence supporting the medical services provided by the assessee, which led to a lack of documentary evidence. As the Commissioner did not doubt the charitable nature of the objects, the matter was remitted back for the assessee to provide complete confirmation of donations and documentary evidence supporting their charitable activities.

In conclusion, the Tribunal allowed the appeal for statistical purposes, setting aside the Commissioner's order and directing the assessee to produce the required confirmation of donations and documentary evidence to support their charitable activities.
