INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Section 12AA(3)

Violation of section 13 not being subject contemplated under section 12AA(3), CIT was not justified in cancelling registration merely for violation of section 13.

Charitable trust - Cancellation of registration - Reason, purported violation of section 13 -

Assessee trust was registered under section 12A. CIT invoked section 12AA(3) and cancelled registration on account of purported violation by assessee of provisions contained in section 13.Held: Section 13 contains provisions which seek to disentitle an assessee from exemptions contained in sections 11 and 12 in given situations. Ostensibly, eligibility or otherwise of assessee for exemptions contained under sections 11 and 12 was indeed a subjct-matter of assessment proceedings carried out at the level of assessing authority. Therefore, violation of section 13 not being subject contemplated under section 12AA(3), CIT was not justified in cancelling registration merely for violation of section 13.
