Commissioner Of Income-Tax vs Agricultural Produce And Market ... on 28 March, 2007
In the case of CIT vs. Agricultural
Produce and Market Committee (supra), the Hon'ble Bombay High Court -
Nagpur Bench has held that there is no requirement under the Act that an
institution constituted for advancement of any object of general public utility
must be registered as a trust. Therefore, in the present case before us, mere
because the assessee association is registered as company under sec. 25 of
the Companies Act, that by itself cannot be a ground to refuse registration
under sec. 12A/12AA of the Act. Thus, this ground of rejection of
registration by the Commissioner of Income-tax, is also rejected.
