ITAT reviewed cancellation of a charitable institution's registration under 10(23C)(vi) and found the cancellation relied on unverified adverse inferences from minor discrepancies rather than a proper enquiry; the tribunal held that issues like duplicate receipts, advance land payments, lease-versus-asset characterisation and small expenditures required detailed scrutiny or assessment (including examination under provisions governing inurement) rather than summary revocation.
