Issues: Whether rejection of registration under section 12AB and approval under section 80G was justified on the grounds of non-genuineness of activities, benefit to specified persons under section 13(3), and carrying on activities in the nature of trade or commerce.
Analysis: The trust had already commenced running a paramedical college and had earned substantial fee receipts with surplus in the relevant year. The material on record did not rebut the objections regarding payments to specified persons or explain the work done by them or their income profile to justify the remuneration. The payments to related persons formed a significant part of the expenditure, and the activities were found to be insufficiently verifiable. The nature of the educational activity, coupled with the high surplus, supported the conclusion that the activity was profit-oriented rather than charitable. The rejection was therefore supported by the statutory bar arising from section 13(3) and the adverse findings on genuineness under section 12AB(4).
Conclusion: The rejection of registration under section 12AB and consequential approval under section 80G was upheld, and the assessee's claim was rejected.
