ITAT allowed the appeal of the assessee-trust and set aside denial of exemption u/s 11 and 12. It held that the requirement of filing Form 10B along with the return is procedural, not mandatory in a manner defeating substantive rights, where the audit report is ultimately furnished.

The delayed filing was treated as a curable procedural defect, insufficient to disentitle an otherwise compliant charitable trust from exemption.
