Binding precedent remains operative despite pending challenge, supporting deletion of interest disallowance when debt is converted into preference sha...
Section 12AB requires the Commissioner to grant or reject charitable-registration applications after examining objects, genuineness of activities and material legal compliance. It does not create a category of registration whose effectiveness or tax benefits are suspended pending future litigation. Conditions may operate only where they reflect statutory requirements; prescribed forms, rules and administrative circulars cannot enlarge substantive powers. Post-registration concerns must be addressed through the separate cancellation process, including inquiry and hearing safeguards. A binding jurisdictional ruling remains applicable unless stayed, modified or reversed. The absence of an express irrevocability clause does not itself establish that a public charitable trust is revocable where no power of revocation is reserved.
