Procedural fairness: clarifying timing for final registration under section 80G prevents denial for pre approval activities.
The tribunal identified procedural deficiencies in the tax authority's handling of a charity's final registration application, finding that a single short-notice hearing failed to secure adequate opportunity to be heard and underscoring procedural fairness.
