Concessional corporate tax option under section 115BAA survives procedural documentary lapses when statutory compliance and earlier exercise are estab...
SC affirmed the High Court's reversal of the ITAT and upheld the AO/Appellate Commissioner's disallowance of exemption under s.11, holding the trust's receipt of an interest-free secured loan to its manager did not meet charitable activity under s.2(15). The Court accepted that the asserted 10% interest was not evidenced in accounting records or audit reports and that a post hoc resolution was unreliable; s.13(1)(c) rendered the institution's entire income taxable if any part benefits specified persons. The appeal was dismissed on merits; however, the appellant-assessee was granted liberty to make a representation to the AO regarding the appropriate quantum of tax payable.
