Case Laws Income Tax AT

The ITAT ruled that the appellant organization qualifies for exemption under sections 11 and 12 of the Income Tax Act, finding that the proviso to section 2(15) does not apply. The Tribunal determined that the appellant's activities do not constitute trade, commerce, or business, nor does it render services related to such activities. The organization merely provides a platform facilitating import/export of diamonds and precious stones, functioning as a trade promotion body. The ITAT noted that the appellant's receipts represent cost reimbursements without excessive markup. Since no material evidence demonstrated the appellant was engaged in commercial activities or charging fees exceeding costs incurred, the Tribunal allowed the appeal, confirming the organization's charitable status and eligibility for tax exemption.
