INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

--Exemption under section 10(22)--Educational institution Disallowance made on protective basis vis-a-vis addition on substantive basis--Assessee an educational institution had claimed exemption of its income under section 10(22). Assessing officer observed that accounts officer S. Anwar, the them Registrar of the institute was running the institute for personal projects and had used the institute for his personal gains, therefore, he disallowed the expenditure of such personal advantage gained by S. Anwar and that too on protective basis, to be taxed in the hands of S. Anwar on substantive basis. Held:>Was not justified as merely because the employee of the institution had gained personal benefit on account of his position or misappropriate funds of the institution, it could not be said that the character of institution as a whole was changed from non-profit to profit. More so, when the disallowance was made in the case of assessee in protective basis and the same was added in the hands of S. Anwar on substantive basis, then, the disallowance made on protective basis could not be sustained.
