Exemption registration requirement: filing under section 12A is procedural precondition for trusts, registration does not confer tax exemption. Filing an application for registration is a procedural precondition for claiming income-tax exemption for public charitable or religious trusts; receipt and registration of the application satisfy only one necessary condition and do not itself confer exempt status. The substantive eligibility for exemption must be examined and determined by the assessing officer, and Commissioners may admit applications without assessing eligibility at the registration stage.
