Incidental micro-credit and financial facilitation by a charitable trust did not, by itself, negate charitable status for approval where the trust deed authorised self-help groups, micro-credit programmes and developmental initiatives. The Tribunal found no evidence of commerciality, profit-oriented conduct, surplus distribution or systematic business operations, and noted that the accounts showed no abnormal surplus while the reports reflected relief to the poor.
