Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
ITAT partially allowed the appeal challenging the rejection of registration u/s 12AB. The tribunal held that while the trust's objectives appear charitable and non-discriminatory across religions, the genuineness of funding sources requires further investigation. The order was set aside with directions to the CIT(E) to conduct a comprehensive examination of the trust's activities, focusing on verifying the actual implementation of charitable objectives and the legitimacy of funding sources. The tribunal emphasized that mere recital of charitable intentions is insufficient; substantive evidence demonstrating genuine charitable activities and transparent fund origins is essential for registration. The provisional registration's cancellation was deemed premature without thorough inquiry into potential specified violations under section 12AB(4).
