Tax Tribunal Overturns CIT's Dismissal of Section 12AB Registrations; Case Sent Back for Reevaluation.
The ITAT Kolkata allowed the appeals by the assessees against the CIT's orders regarding registration under section 12AB of the Income Tax Act. The Tribunal found that the CIT erroneously dismissed the applications as infructuous, misunderstanding them as requests for provisional registration. Consequently, the Tribunal set aside the CIT's orders and remanded the issues for fresh adjudication, allowing the appeals for statistical purposes. The Tribunal's decision was pronounced on 30/11/2023.
Issues: Appeal against orders of CIT regarding registration under section 12AB of the Income Tax Act.
Analysis: The Appellate Tribunal ITAT Kolkata heard two appeals by assessees against orders of the CIT regarding registration under section 12AB of the Income Tax Act. The assessees claimed that the CIT failed to grant registration under section 12AB, subsection (1), clause (b)(ii) of the Income Tax Act. The Tribunal noted that the appeals were slightly time-barred due to a calculation error but decided to condone the delay and proceed to hear the appeals on merit.
Upon reviewing the case, the Tribunal found that the CIT did not adjudicate the applications on merit but rather treated them as infructuous since the assessees already had provisional registration. However, the assessees had applied for registration under section 12AB(1), clause (b), not for provisional registration. The Tribunal highlighted that the CIT misunderstood the nature of the applications and wrongly dismissed them as premature. As per section 12AB, sub-section (1), the assessees were entitled to apply for registration valid for five years, not provisional registration for three years. Therefore, the Tribunal set aside the CIT's orders and remanded the issues for fresh adjudication by the CIT (Exemption).
In conclusion, the appeals of the assessees were allowed for statistical purposes, and the Tribunal pronounced the order on 30/11/2023.
