M/S. Ananda Social And Educational ... vs The Commissioner Of Income Tax on 19 February, 2020

3. We heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant material on record. We find the ld. CIT (Exemption) after examining the evidences regarding the Food distribution concluded that the appellant had failed to furnish sufficient details as to how the beneficiaries were identified for the food distribution. Similarly, the ld. CIT (Exemption) observed that most of the grocery bills were in the form of estimates which did not contain even the seller/shop name, signature etc. Regarding the rendition of financial assistance for education activity, the ld. CIT (Exemption) observed that the appellant had only disbursed the aid to the parents instead of the schools directly. In our opinion, the above observations made by the ld. CIT (Exemption) does not lead to conclusion that either the objects are not charitable or the activities of the appellant are non-genuine. They are irrelevant and cannot be looked into at the time of granting the registration. The ld CIT(Exemption) had dealt with the issue of assessment. It is trite law that at the time of grant of registration, the Commissioner of Income Tax is only expected to examine and satisfy himself that the objects of the trust are charitable and its activities are in furtherance of the charitable in nature i.e. satisfy himself about the genuineness of the activities carried on by the assessee as held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Ananda Social and Educational Trust Vs.
