On that basis, the institution's objects were held charitable for registration purposes and entitlement to section 12A registration followed. At the registration stage, the inquiry is limited to the objects of the institution and the genuineness of its activities; any alleged section 13 violation, including payments to related parties, is not ative for registration and must be examined, if relevant, in assessment proceedings.
