Whether, on the facts and circumstance of the case and in law, the Hon'ble Tribunal is justified in allowing the claim of the assessee for exemption u/s.11 ignoring the fact that the Assessing Officer in his order has pointed out specific defects in treating the income earned by levying surcharge at a specific rate for the bills raised on patients and doctors on the fees paid to them and treating them as corpus donation instead of income earned from the activities of the trust ?
