2021 (5) TMI 775 - AT - Income Tax


Issues involved:
1. Rejection of application for registration under section 12AA(1)(b)(ii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 by the Learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemption).

Detailed Analysis:
1. The appellant raised grounds of appeal against the order of the Learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemption), challenging the rejection of the registration application under section 12AA(1)(b)(ii) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The appellant contended that the rejection was invalid and should be quashed.

2. The appellant argued that all necessary details, including Trust Deed, Annual Accounts, Trust Registration Certificate, PAN, Adhar of the Trustees, Bank Passbook, and declaration/undertaking, were submitted along with the registration application. Responses to notices issued by the Commissioner were also provided promptly with relevant details.

3. The appellant emphasized that compliance was made with the notices issued by the Commissioner, and all details were available on the e-proceeding portal. Despite the submissions, the Commissioner rejected the application without due consideration of the furnished documents and information.

4. During the hearing, the appellant's representative requested the matter to be remanded to the Commissioner for reevaluation, considering the details already submitted. The Departmental Representative did not object to this course of action.

5. The Tribunal noted that the Commissioner's rejection lacked proper consideration of the details provided by the appellant. It highlighted the requirement of granting the assessee a reasonable opportunity before rejecting a registration application under section 12AA(1) of the Act.

6. The Tribunal found that the appellant had partially complied with the Commissioner's notices, which were acknowledged in the order. It was observed that the Commissioner did not fully consider the details submitted by the appellant, necessitating the grant of another opportunity for the appellant to present its case.

7. In the interest of justice and fair play, the Tribunal directed the Commissioner to provide the appellant with another opportunity to present its contentions and submit the necessary details. The appellant was instructed to cooperate fully in the fresh proceedings. The grounds of appeal were allowed for statistical purposes, and the appeal was allowed accordingly.

This detailed analysis covers the issues raised in the judgment comprehensively, outlining the arguments presented by the appellant, the Tribunal's observations, and the final decision rendered in the case.
