Landmark judgement passed by the Supreme Court on 19.02.2020:
Performance of Charitable
Activity not Compulsory for Registration of New Trust u/s 12AA of IT Act.
This has always been the
practical difficulty faced by the new charitable organizations who wanted to
get themselves registered u/s 12A. With the judgement, the issue has been put
to rest finally and might resolve various pending cases relating to the matter.
It is correctly pointed out by the bench of Apex court that
“activities ” mentioned in the Section should be deemed to be
considered as “proposed activities “.
