FEMA borrowing restrictions bind charitable trusts, and civil penalties apply without proving intent for delayed repayment of non-resident rupee loans...
Timely furnishing of Form No. 10B within an extended return-filing deadline satisfies the audit-report requirement for charitable-trust exemption. Although filing the audit report is a substantive requirement, the prescribed timing and mode of submission are procedural where the report is available before assessment. Rejection of a condonation application does not bar the exemption because condonation is an additional remedy. Form No. 10B for the relevant assessment year must therefore be accepted and the claimed exemption granted.
