Exemption u/s 11 - rejection of assessee’s application for registration u/s 12A - The Appellate Tribunal found that the rejection of the application was unjustified as it was based on suspicion without credible material. It emphasized that at the registration stage, the focus should be on determining whether the objectives of the institution are charitable, rather than questioning the expenditure incurred.
