Power to receive documentary evidence upheld; documents referred in complaint may be placed on record without amendment where omission was inadvertent...
Assessment of trust expenditure centred on whether claimed expenses demonstrated application of income for charitable purposes; the tribunal accepted documentary evidence (salary registers, salary ledgers, cash book, bank book, payment records and other ledger accounts) and agreed with the CIT(A) that the assessing officer offered no basis to disallow a portion of expenses. The appellate panel found the majority of costs were salary-related and substantiated, noted no infirmity in the remaining ledgers, and dismissed the revenue appeal for lack of contrary evidential foundation.
