Medical relief includes mobile healthcare services delivered to rural and remote populations under Government contracts where the objects remain exclusively charitable and prohibit commercial operation. Contractual receipts, tax deduction at source and surplus generation do not alone convert such activities into business; the decisive considerations are the institution's purpose and deployment of income. Regular charitable registration cannot be refused merely because beneficiary records are held by the Government or payments are made to related persons, absent proof that payments were excessive or unreasonable for services rendered. Cancellation of provisional registration requires specific notice of the statutory ground and an effective opportunity to respond. Regular registration was directed, and the provisional-registration cancellation was set aside.
