Facts Summary

The assessee, Kalpathru Lions Charitable Trust R., was established on 25.01.2018 with the main objective of providing medical help to the poor and needy in Turuvekere Hobli District Tumkur and its surrounding villages. The trust filed applications for registration under sections 12AA and 80G of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The initial application filed on 29.05.2018 was deemed infructuous due to the Taxation and Other Law Amendment Act, 2020. A fresh application filed on 30.09.2021 was rejected for being beyond the specified time limit. Subsequently, the assessee filed another application on 23.04.2024 after the CBDT extended the time limit. The CIT rejected these applications, stating that the assessee failed to submit requisite documents and that the expenditure on building construction did not align with the trust's objectives.
