Investments in fixed deposit receipts under the statutory investment mode do not constitute an application of income for charitable purposes; the Special Bench held that Section 11(5) prescribes permissible investment modes distinct from application under Section 11(1), and therefore FDRs cannot be treated as charitable application.

Consequential claims for set-off of alleged earlier excess application were rejected as the issue was finally decided against the assessee.
