The said application was rejected by CIT (E).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CIT (E) opined that the voluntary contributions collected by the assessee trust formed a part of the corpus funds of the trust and hence, it is an income of the assessee. Thus, on the said income, the assessee trust was liable to pay tax as per law. Since the requisite taxes were not paid by the assessee, the CIT (E) opined that the requirement of Section 12 AA of the Act i.e. satisfaction of the Commissioner about objects of the Trust and the genuineness of the activities of the trust could not be determined and hence, the said application for registration under Section 12 AA of the Act of the assessee was rejected.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Analysis, Law and Decision<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Tribunal\u2019s opinion, the provisions of Section 12AA of the Act provides that CIT(E) at the time of granting registration to assessee trust or society shall look into the objects of the trust\/society and be satisfied with the genuineness of the activities carried out by such applicant trust\/society at the time of granting registration under Section 12AA of the Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>Whether any tax had accrued to be paid or whether such taxes have been paid or not are to be looked into at the stage of assessment proceedings.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Allahabad High Court in <em>Fifth Generation Education Society v.

The Commissioner may examine whether the application was made in accordance with the requirements of Section 12AA r.w.r 17A and whether Form 10A has been properly filled up. He may also see whether the objects of the trust are charitable or not. At that stage, it is not proper to examine the application of income.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the case of <em>Kai Shri Mahadebrao Naykude Dnyanvikas Prabhodhini Trust v.

It is only at the assessment proceedings, the Assessing Officer can take appropriate steps as per law regarding the non-filing of return. However, at the time of granting registration, the object of the assessee trust has to be looked into and genuineness of the activities of the assessee trust should be considered.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the present matter, registration was not granted under Section 12AA of the Act since taxes were not paid on the donations received by the assessee trust.
