By this time the assessee appeals for the earlier years were decided by the Tribunal and a revision application to the Commissioner was also disposed of. Based on this, the AAC held that the assessee was a charitable trust and it is entitled to exemption, but directed the ITO to look into s. 11(2) of the Act for purposes of giving effect to his order. On receipt of this order, the ITO amended the assessment on 14th Feb., 1974 holding that the total income was nil and cancelled the demand originally raised.

In this background, the payment made on 2nd Jan.,1971 would entitle the assessee to claim relief. Alternatively if this sum cannot be taken as application of income for the year 1971-72, it can be taken as application of income for the year 1972-73. The income for that year was only Rs. 622.
