                                 ORDER
PER A.D.JAIN, JM :

This is assessee's appeal against learned CIT's order dated 26.11.2010 passed u/s 12AA(1)(b)(ii) of the Income-tax Act.

2. While rejecting the assessee's application for registration u/s 12AA of the Act, the learned CIT, vide the impugned order, observed, inter alia, that the aims and objects of the applicant trust showed that it had a number of objects; however, no activity had been carried out in relation to any of the said objects for the sake of general welfare of the public during FY 2008-09, relevant to AY 2009-10; that in accordance with "Self Employers Service Society Vs. CIT" 247 ITR 18 (Kerala), when a society does not carry out any activity to attain any of its objects in the first year, it does not deserve registration u/s 12AA of the Act; that the trust had made FDRs with banks, of `2,18,30,042/-; that the trust also had a huge bank balance; that the main motive of the trust was thus to earn income by way of interest; that the trust was like a private discretionary trust where Shri Prikshit Katyal, his son, his mother, Smt.Sangeeta Katyal and his brother Shri Gaurav Katyal were 2 ITA-6088/Del/2010 trustees in the previous trust deed, due to which, it was rejected on 5.5.2010; that though in the supplementary deed, Smt.Shruti Bhagat, Smt.Darshana Dhinghra and Shri Sanjay Bhagat had been added as new trustees, the applicant trust had failed to establish their objectivity with corroborative evidence, that even as per the supplementary trust deed, there was no provision for independent internal check on the discretionary functioning of the trust and had also not been stipulated in the deed that the trust properties would be held in the name of the trust itself, rather than in the names of the trustees; that apropos the trust funds, nothing specific had been mentioned and it had been simply stated that nothing contained in the deed shall be deemed to authorize the trustees to do any act which may in any way be construed as a violation of or contrary to the provisions of law relevant to public trusts or public charitable institutions; that the trust was thus susceptible to use for purpose other than charitable ones; that the objects of the trusts were not charitable; that under the head "power of the board of trustees", it had been stipulated that the board of trustees shall have the power to convert the trust property, acquire immovable property, sell, charge, rent out or otherwise alienate the assets including immovable property for protecting or improving the trust property or for any of the objects of the trust; that this stipulation was nothing but a provision for the direct transfer of the assets/income of the trust for personal/non-charitable purposes of the board of trustees which consisted only of Shri Prikshit Katyal, Smt.Sangeeta Katyal, Shri Gaurav Katyal, Smt.Shruti Bhagat, Smt.Darshana Dhinghra and Shri Sanjay Bhagat; that as per the trust deed, six settlers cum trustees had autocratic or discretionary powers to remove without any notice or reason a trustee other than the settler; that under "Trust Fund", it had been stipulated that the trustees shall hold the trust fund and addition thereto; that the stipulation in the trust deed for "subsidized low rate of interest" indicated that the intention of the 3 ITA-6088/Del/2010 trust was not charitable from the very beginning; that the trust had not furnished any documentary evidence regarding the identity and capacity to make initial investment in the trust by the trustees; and the trust had not disclosed the full facts regarding the amount of initial investment by each trustee - even the copies of returns of income of the trustees had not been furnished.

3. Challenging the impugned order, the learned counsel for the assessee has contended that the learned CIT has erred in rejecting the application filed by the assessee trust for registration u/s 12AA of the Act, holding that the aims, objects and terms of the trust deed are not of a charitable nature; that for the purpose of registration of a trust, the only thing to be considered by the CIT is that the objects and activities of the applicant are of a charitable nature; that in the present case, no finding has been recorded by the learned CIT, to the effect that, either the objects or the activities of the applicant trust are not charitable in nature; that as available from the balance sheet of the assessee trust, for the period from 14.9.2008 to 31.3.2009 (copy at page 29 of the assessee's paper book, "APB", for short), the assessee had purchased land during this year, which was the first year of the assessee trust; that the purchase of the land was out of funds collected; that in the next year, as per the balance sheet for the period from 1.4.2009 to 31.3.2010 (copy at APB-32), scholarships were awarded to needy students, widow donation was disbursed and further land was purchased; that both these balance sheets were placed before the learned CIT; that however, the learned CIT did not take them into consideration; that the learned CIT has erred in observing that the trust was like a private discretionary trust, ignoring that the powers and duties of the other trustees, are only regulatory, besides the fact that this aspect is to be examined by the AO u/s 11 to 13 of the Act, at the time of assessment and not while granting registration;

4 ITA-6088/Del/2010 that the learned CIT has erred in observing that the properties are in the names of the trustees, even when conveyance deeds were placed before him and it is clear therefrom that the properties are in the name of the trust and not in the names of the trustees; that the learned CIT has erred in observing that the stipulation that the board of trustees shall have power to convert the trust property, to acquire immovable property, sell, charge, rent out or otherwise alienate the assets, is nothing but a provision for the direct transfer of the assets/income of the trust for personal/non-charitable purposes; that while doing so, learned CIT has ignored that the clause contained in the trust deed in this regard is of a general nature, to protect or improve the trust property; that the learned CIT has erred in observing that the trustees have autocratic and discretionary powers to remove a trustee other than a settler; that the learned CIT has failed to consider the procedure for removal of trustees by the board of trustees and where such removal by the board is not proper, by an arbitrator and that in all cases of removal, a notice has to be given before taking action; that the stipulation under the head "Trust Fund" that the trustees shall hold the trust fund has wrongly been held to be detrimental to the case of the assessee trust, despite the fact that the clause in this regard, as contained in the trust deed, is a general clause specifying that the trustees shall hold the trust fund, to the exclusion of the outsiders; that the learned CIT has erred in observing that the stipulation for subsidized low rate of interest indicates that the intention of the trust was not charitable from the very beginning; that this was regarding loan to be given to needy students for studies at nil/subsidized rates; that it has wrongly been observed that the assessee trust has not furnished any documentary evidence regarding the identity and capacity to make initial investment in the trust by the trustees and that full facts regarding the amount of initial investment by each trustee had not been disclosed; that complete details in this regard 5 ITA-6088/Del/2010 were duly furnished before the learned CIT, which were wrongly ignored; that, in any case, this aspect of the matter is also to be examined at the time of assessment and not while granting registration; that all the details pertaining to each and every objection raised by the learned CIT were duly furnished by the assessee trust before the learned CIT and copies thereof stand duly filed in the assessee's paper book (particular pages pointed out); that in this manner, the learned CIT has wrongly interpreted the various clauses of the trust deed; and that the registration has wrongly been denied to the assessee trust on wrong peripheral observations, not germane to the grant of registration u/s 12AA of the Act. It has been submitted that the learned CIT has wrongly relied on "Self Employers Service Society", 247 ITR 18. Reliance has been placed on "Jupiter Medical Research Centre Trust Vs. Director of Income-tax (Exemption)", 128 TTJ 118 (Ahd.)(UO) and "Director of Income-tax Vs. Garden City Educational Trust", 330 ITR 480 (Karn).

4. The learned DR, on the other hand, while strongly supporting the impugned order, has submitted that in the present case, the conditions pre-requisite for registration of trust remained unfulfilled inasmuch as the objects of the trust have not been proved to be charitable and the genuineness of the activities has not been proved; that in the initial year, undeniably, the assessee trust did not carry out any activity and so, as rightly observed by the learned CIT, it did not deserve registration in keeping with "Self Employers Service Society" (supra); that the motive of the trust being that of earning interest income is amply clear from the fact that the trust had made FDRs of `2,18,30,042/- with banks and it had also huge bank balances; that the trustees are the members of the same family and so, the trust is like a private discretionary trust; that the manner of disposal of the trust properties, as contained in the trust deed, is also indicative of the 6 ITA-6088/Del/2010 private discretion available to the trustees; that the board of trustees has been bestowed with unfettered power to convert the trust property; that the powers of removal of a trustee other than the settler are also autocratic as rightly observed by the learned CIT; that the trustees have been held entitled to hold the trust fund; that the stipulation for subsidized low rate of interest also goes against the touted charitable nature of the objects of the trust; not only this, the trust failed to furnish documentary evidence regarding the initial investment in the trust by the trustees. It has been contended that looked at from any angle, neither the activities, nor the objects of the trust are charitable in nature and that being so, the grant of registration has rightly been refused by the learned CIT.

5. We have heard the parties and have perused the material on record. Section 12AA(1) reads as follows:-

"12AA.
12AA. (1) The [***] Commissioner, on receipt of an application for registration of a trust or institution made under clause (a) [or clause (aa) of sub-section (1)] of section 12A, shall--
(a) call for such documents or information from the trust or institution as he thinks necessary in order to satisfy himself about the genuineness of activities of the trust or institution and may also make such inquiries as he may deem necessary in this behalf; and
(b) after satisfying himself about the objects of the trust or institution and the genuineness of its activities, he--
(i)shall pass an order in writing registering the trust or institution;
(ii)shall, if he is not so satisfied, pass an order in writing refusing to register the trust or institution, and a copy of such order shall be sent to the applicant :
Provided that no order under sub-clause (ii) shall be passed unless the applicant has been given a reasonable opportunity of being heard."
7 ITA-6088/Del/2010

6. Thus, the procedure for registration is for the Commissioner to satisfy himself about the charitable objects of the trust and the genuineness of its activities. In the present case, the first objection raised by the learned CIT is that no activity was carried out by the assessee trust in relation to its objects, for the sake of general welfare of the public during FY 2008-09, relevant to AY 2009-10. In this regard, the learned counsel for the assessee has drawn our attention to APB-

29. This is a copy of the balance sheet of the trust pertaining to the period from 14.9.2008 to 31.3.2009. It shows purchase of land for `17,37,350/-. Thus, it cannot be said that no activity was carried out by the trust during this period. Further, as per the balance sheet for the period from 1.4.2009 to 31.3.2010 (APB-31), inter alia, scholarships of `41,100/- were given to students and `30,000/- was disbursed as widow pension and land was purchased for `1,02,75,650/-. Neither of these balance sheets was considered by the learned CIT.

7. Apropos the objects of the trust, as per the original trust deed, the following are the objects of the trust:-

(35) To carry out any other kind of activity in the interest of the public and the Trust."

(APB-7 to APB-10)

8. As per the amended trust deed, the aims and objects of the trust are :-

"Aims and objects of the trust Item No.6 To advance loans to deserving students for pursuing their students on reasonable rates of interests or in any other manner as may be decided by the Settles or the Managing Trustee from time to time.
12 ITA-6088/Del/2010 Item No.7 To open, fund and maintain or contribute to the opening and maintaining of such Institutions and training centers where work on living wages can be provided to poor and middle classes people and as may be conductive to the development of such industries in any part of India Union for the benefit for the poor.

Item No.29 The trustees shall entitled and be at liberty to accept gifts, voluntary contributions from and person, firm or concern, Institutions or Government and to collect subscriptions, donations or aid from state Government, Central Government or augment the Trust fund use such money for fulfillment of the aims and objects of the trust."

(APB-20 to APB-21)

9. Pertinently, the learned CIT has not made any observation that any of the above objects of the trust is not charitable in nature.

10. Apropos assessee's activities, the assessee, in its reply dated 20.9.2010 (APB-35 to APB-38) to the learned CIT, has specifically stated as under:-

"Activities - As to activities, the trust has started the process of establishing an Engineering College by acquiring land for this purpose. Books of account, bills, vouchers & proceeding book indicate that the activities for creating infrastructure necessary for imparting education for welfare of the public have been started from the very beginning in the first year of its creation and the activities are genuine, not sham. As to the activities performed in the second year of its creation i.e. FY 2009-10, the balance sheet, income and expenditure account and receipt and 13 ITA-6088/Del/2010 payment account reveal that the social as well as educational activities have been performed in the interest of general public."

11. Thus, the assessee has all through maintained that the activities for creating infrastructure necessary for imparting education for welfare of the public had been started in the first year itself and that such activities were genuine activities. Reference was made to the balance sheet, income and expenditure account and receipt and payment account. However, the learned CIT has ignored these averments of the assessee.

12. Apropos the powers of the trustees, these are contained at APB- 12 and are as follows:-

"Powers and Duties of Other Trustees :
1. The Board of Trustees may appoint one or more trustees as and when required.
2. The Trustee shall have right to serve the Trust by fulfilling the aims and objects of the Trust on behalf of the Board of Trustees and in favor of the beneficiary as per aims and objectives and rules and regulations of the Trust;
3. That if any Trustee violates or denies the duties and do unlawful acts which is beyond the rules of the Trust, he will be fully liable for all costs, damages, losses for the same.
4. Board of Trustees may remove any Trustee/Trustees other than the three founder trustees without prior intimation/Notice to the said Trustee and without citing any reason. If the work of the any Trustee is not satisfactory and/or against the public policy and trust interests he shall be immediately removed from the trust.
5. The trustees will serve the Trust as per direction of the Board of Trustee and the terms and conditions of the Trust.
14 ITA-6088/Del/2010
6. The trustees will follow all the terms and conditions of the Trust and they will save the Trust accordingly.
7. The office of the Trustee shall become vacant on the happening of the following events:
      a.    Death of Trustee.
      b.    Physical or mental inefficiency of a Trustee.
      c.    Resignation of the Trustee.
      d.    On being rendered incapable to perform the duties of
      the Trust.
      e.    In being convicted of any serious criminal offence
      involving moral turpitude.
      f.    On being adjudged insolvent."
                                                      (APB-12)


13. Firstly, it is not the learned CIT's purview to go into such aspects while considering the registration of a trust. As noted above, u/s 12AA, the only thing is to be seen is the charitable objects and the genuine activities of the trust. Otherwise too, it is seen that the powers of the trustees evince that if any trustee violates the duties and commits unlawful acts beyond the rules of the trust, he would be fully liable for the same. The board of trustees has been empowered to remove trustees other than the founder trustees, if their work is not satisfactory and/or against public policy and the interest of the trust.

We find nothing wrong with such powers of the board of trustees. Obviously, if a trustee acts against the interest of the trust or against public policy, he invites removal from the post.

14. So far as regards the objection that the properties are in the names of the trustees, the learned CIT has not taken into consideration the conveyance deeds filed at APB-37, 52, 99, 114 and 122, copies were duly furnished by the assessee trust before the learned CIT. As per these conveyance deeds, the properties are in the name of the trust and not in the names of the trustees.

15 ITA-6088/Del/2010

15. Concerning the power of the board of trustees to convert the trust property, this again is a matter to be gone into at the time of assessment. Further, the power in this regard is a general power for facilitating the proper functioning of the trust.

16. The procedure of removal of trustees (APB-23) is also such that if the work of any trustee is not satisfactory or against public policy and the interest of the trust, the board of trustees may remove him by giving one month's notice (as per amended trust deed). If the response of the assessee is not found satisfactory, the matter is to be referred to an arbitrator. Here also, nothing wrong is found.

17. The stipulation that the trustees shall hold the trust fund is also proper. Sans the clause in this regard in the trust deed, there would be no provision as to who would hold the funds of the trust.

18. It is the object of the trust to advance loans to deserving students for pursuing their studies at nil/subsidized low rates and the learned CIT has gone wrong in observing that this indicates the intention of the trust not to be charitable from the beginning.

19. Apropos the learned CIT's observation that no documentary evidence regarding the identity and capacity of the trustees to make initial investment in the trust and regarding the amount for initial investment actually made by the trustees, attention has been drawn to APB-130 to 147, which are the confirmations of the donors for contribution towards the corpus fund of the trust. Then, APB-148 to 153 are the copies of PAN cards of the trustees. These documents have not at all been taken into consideration by the learned CIT while making the observation in this regard. Be that as it may, even this 16 ITA-6088/Del/2010 matter is to be looked into at the time of assessment and it is not relevant for the purpose of grant of registration.

20. Coming to the case laws, the facts in "Self Employers Service Society" (supra) are not at parity with those attaining in the present case. Therein, no charitable work was done by the society during the first year of operation and there was only a proposal to carry on the charitable objects in future. Besides, the activities of that society were only for the purpose of generating income for its members. It is not so herein. As noted hereinabove, in the first year, land was purchased for carrying out the charitable educational activities. "Self Employers Service Society" (supra) is, therefore, not applicable and has been wrongly applied by the learned CIT.

21. In "Jupiter Medical Research Centre Trust" (supra), it has been held that merely because all trustees are family members, it does not mean that the trust is not a public trust and merely because the assessee trust has not carried out any activity, it would not mean that the trust has totally stopped activity forever and for that so, withdrawal of registration granted on these grounds could not be said to be justified.

22. In "Jasoda Devi Charitable Trust Vs. CIT", 4 ITR (Trib.) 547 (JP), it has been held that the Commissioner was not justified in rejecting the application for registration on the basis that the trust had not carried out any charitable activity, without appreciating that it was created on 6.5.2009 only and without affording an opportunity to the trust to meet the objection regarding its activities. "Self Employers Service Society"

(supra) has been referred to therein.

17 ITA-6088/Del/2010

23. In "Garden City Educational Trust" (supra), it has been observed that while registration in accordance with Section 12 of the Act is a condition precedent for claiming the benefits u/s 11 & 12 of the Act, registration as per Section 12A by itself will not automatically confer the benefits of Section 11 & 12 of a trust, but the trust will get the benefit only on complying with the requirements of Sections 11 & 12 of the Act, which compliance can be examined by the assessing authority, while processing the return filed by the trust. In the present case, as seen, the grounds for refusing registration are those as call for examination by the AO u/s 11 & 12 of the Act and not while considering registration u/s 12AA of the Act.

24. In view of the above, finding merit therein, the grievance sought to be raised by the assessee is accepted as justified. Accordingly, the order of learned CIT is reversed. Consequently, the learned CIT is directed to grant registration as claimed by the assessee trust.

25. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed.

Decision pronounced in the open Court on 10th June, 2011.
