Receipt quantification, activity-wise profitability, income application and annual exemption conditions are assessment-stage matters and cannot alone justify denial of registration. The proviso to section 2(15) applies only to the general-public-utility limb, not to specified charitable purposes such as relief of the poor, education, yoga, medical relief or environmental preservation. Net presentation of activity results, where gross receipts and expenditure are disclosed, does not establish false information, concealment or wilful misrepresentation under the specified-violation standard. Registration proceedings also require a meaningful opportunity to answer proposed adverse findings; consequential section 80G approval cannot be withheld solely on an unsustainable registration denial. en-us Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 21 Aug 2026 08:28:06 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=797381 Section 12AB registration scrutiny is confined to charitable objects, genuineness of activities and material legal compliance.
