Cancellation of registration for non-profit organisations follows specified violations including misuse of income and impermissible commercial activity.
Section 351 enumerates specified violations by registered non-profit organisations that may trigger cancellation of registration: misuse of income, impermissible commercial activity, private religious applications lacking public benefit, non-genuine activities or non-compliance with registration conditions, final/undisputed external orders under other laws, and false information in the registration application. The Principal Commissioner/Commissioner may call for documents, hold inquiries, provide a hearing, and issue a written order canceling or not canceling registration, to be communicated to the Assessing Officer and organisation within a six-month timeline from the quarter-end of the first notice.
