At the outset it is seen that there is a delay of 30 days in filing of the above appeals for which the assessee has filed a condonation petition along with an affidavit explaining the reasons for such delay. The learned DR has not opposed the condonation petition. Considering the facts and circumstances and the reasons given by the assessee, the delay in filing of the appeal is hereby condoned.

....or before filing of the Return of Income, the exemption claimed u/s 10(23C) has not been granted by the Assessing Officer, CPC while processing the Return u/s 143(1)(a). 6.

....dy left to the assessee is approaching the Administrative CIT, who is to condone the delay but not with filing appeal u/s. 250 of the Act. We do not find any infirmity in the order passed by the Ld. CIT(A) and it has open to the assessee to avail the appropriate legal remedy in accordance with Income-tax Act. We also further found that the case laws relied upon by the Ld. Senior Counsel will not be applicable to the present case, since in the case of Mayur Foundation cited (supra) wherein the Assessment year involved is 1980-81 and in the case of Xavier Kelavani Mandal (P.) Ltd. cited (supra) wherein the Assessment Year involved is 2006-07. In our considered view, filing of Form 10B is being mandatory because of the amendment made in Financ....

....d that while denying the exemption under section 11 and 12 for want of registration under section 12AA, the Assessing officer has brought gross receipts to tax which is against the basic tenets of law where only the real income which is determined after deducting expenses from gross receipts can be brought to tax. We therefore agree with the alternate contention so advanced by the learned AR and without going into merit of the other contention which is left open, the matter is set-aside to the file of the Assessing officer to examine the claim of the expenditure so claimed by the assessee trust against the gross receipts for each of the relevant years and where the Assessing officer determines the net receipts as not exceeding the maximum a....

....has also not filed the Audit Report in Form 10BB before the date of filing the return of income. It was submitted by the assessee during the course of appellate proceedings that the assessee does not enjoy the registration u/s 10(23) of the Act, therefore, the assessee is not entitled to claim exemption u/s 10(23) of the Act. However, it was submitted instead of taxing the gross receipts, the net income was required to be taxed after allowing the allowable expenditure. In our view, the assessee is required to be assessed as AOP and the assessee is entitled to the deduction of expenses from the gross receipts as available to any other AOP. In the light of the above, we deem it proper to remand back the matter to the file of the Assessing Off....
