The ITAT, an Appellate Tribunal, assessed whether donations received by a trust for acquiring a capital asset should be taxed as income. The trust treated the donations as corpus funds, not income, in its books. The ITAT agreed with the trust's argument that the donations were to be considered capital receipts, not income u/s 56(1). The ITAT noted that the trust, as a business entity, lawfully treated the donations as subsidies following donor-specific directions. Therefore, Section 2(24)(iia) and Section 56(1) were not applicable, and the addition on donations was directed to be deleted, ruling in favor of the assessee.
