It held that the dominant objects of the trust are charitable, including education, skill development, blood donation, medical aid, shelter and food for the poor, and welfare of animals. The sole objection of CIT(E) was to one object concerning organisation of Ramkatha, Bhagwat Katha and Yagna. ITAT held this object is not wholly or substantially religious, as such events are for the benefit of the public at large and intended primarily for fundraising to support other charitable activities. Finding no legal justification for treating the trust as religious, ITAT directed grant of s.80G approval. en-us Thu, 27 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 05 Dec 2025 08:12:37 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=782869 ITAT Ahmedabad allowed the assessee-trust's appeal against rejection of approval under s.80G(5).
