Allowability of foreign travel expenses hinges on genuine charitable purpose and documentary proof, else disallowance risk arises.
Allowance of foreign travel expenses for working committee members requires the expenditure to genuinely serve the charitable institution's objects and be supported by governing documents; Sections 11 and 12 do not bar such expenses but claims must show result oriented purpose (fundraising, procurement, study, training, etc.), clear documentary evidence, and compliance with any tax authority conditions to avoid disallowance.
