We also find that the impugned order for provisional registration in Form 10AC was issued under section 12A(1)(ac)(i) of the Act, which provision merely deals with making an application for registration. In view of the above, we are of the considered opinion that application filed by the assessee trust under section 12A(1)(ac)(i) was not properly considered for grant of registration under section 12AB of the Act. Accordingly, we direct the designated authority under section 12AB to de novo consider the application of the assessee trust under section 12A(1)(ac)(i) of the Act and grant the registration as per law. As a result, grounds .....

Section 12A(1)(ac)(i) of the Act specifically deals with the cases where trust or institution was registered under section 12A or under section 12AA. 6.2.

Further, section 12AB(1)(a) of the Act provides that where an application is made under section 12A(1)(ac)(i) the Principal Commissioner or Commissioner shall pass an order in writing registering the trust or institution for a period of 5 years.

It is pertinent to note that section 12AB(1)(c) deals with granting of Provisional Registration to the trust or institution for a period of 3 years from the assessment year from which registration is sought. 6.4.
