Approval granted u/s 10(23C)(iv) revoked - charitable activity u/s 2(15) questioned - The Revenue alleges that the assessee is promoting its own products under the guise of charitable activities. However, the assessee argues that its activities are genuine charitable endeavors aimed at benefiting the target population. - The ITAT held that, the activities of the assessee are in the category of medical relief to the poor. Thus, if we interpret the provisions of section 2(15) of the Act strictly, the proviso would not apply. - The impugned order passed by learned CIT (Exemption) withdrawing the approval granted under section 10(23C)(iv) of the Act is unsustainable.
