Rejection of application for final approval u/s 80G(5)(iii) - The appellant, previously approved under Section 80G(5) of the Income Tax Act as a charitable institution, sought final approval following an amendment. Despite applying for provisional approval and subsequently for final approval, the application was rejected by the CIT(Exemption). The Tribunal clarified the interpretation of statutory provisions, emphasizing the application process for final approval and the applicability of CBDT Circulars. It held that the commencement of activities before provisional approval did not hinder the application process. The Tribunal directed the grant of provisional approval to the appellant and ensured the continuation of benefits under Section 80G of the Act.
