Education Grants to Indian Students Abroad Exempted from Tax.

Case Laws     Income Tax

September 4, 2024

Charitable trust provided educational grants to Indian students for pursuing higher education abroad. The issue pertained to whether such grants constituted "application of income" within Indian territories as required for tax exemption u/s 11. It was held that the application of income was complete when the trust disbursed grants in India to Indian students, despite their subsequent utilization for education outside India. The grants facilitated education of Indian persons, fulfilling the charitable purpose within India itself. The revenue's reliance on contrary precedents was incorrect as the application occurred in India for Indian beneficiaries. The Tribunal upheld the exemption, dismissing the revenue's appeal as no new material warranted interference with the findings that disbursal of scholarships in India for overseas study amounted to application of income for charitable purposes in India.
