    <title>Appeal allowed partly; remit to verify whether religious spending exceeds 5% under s.80G(5)/(5B) before approval</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=93781</link>
    <description>ITAT allowed the appeal in part and remitted the matter to CIT(E) for limited inquiry. The Tribunal held that a trust/fund may be of composite charitable and religious character and is disqualified under s.80G(5) only if application of income to religious purposes exceeds the 5% threshold in s.80G(5B). Noting CIT(E) had found religious expenditure over 5% but had not considered the applicant&#039;s explanations that those outlays were charitable, the ITAT directed cit(E) to examine and verify the applicant&#039;s submissions against s.80G(5B) and, if the religious expenditure does not exceed the statutory limit, to grant approval under s.80G. Appeal allowed for statistical purposes.</description>
