    <title>Assessee&#039;s ss.11/12 exemption upheld; activities held public utility under s.2(15), s.12AA registration valid, s.263 order quashed</title>

    <description>ITAT allowed the appeal of the assessee and quashed the revisionary order passed under s.263, holding the claim of exemption under ss.11/12 sustainable. The Tribunal held the assessee&#039;s activities fall within &quot;advancement of any other objects of general public utility&quot; under s.2(15) and noted s.12AA registration remains in force. A Coordinate Bench decision in the assessee&#039;s own case was binding and not stayed; hence the ITO was bound to follow it. Applying the Supreme Court&#039;s interpretation of the proviso to s.2(15), the Tribunal found no trade/business or rendering-of-service nexus and receipts did not breach the 20% threshold. Invocation of Explanation 2 to s.263 was held unjustified.</description>
