ITAT allowed the appeal of the assessee-society and restored exemption under s.11. It held that the society is engaged in advancement of general public utility and its event-based receipts, being less than 20% of its gross receipts, fall within the tolerance limit under the proviso to s.2(15). Membership fees from associated, student and charter members were held not to be consideration for trade, commerce or business.
