Section 11 Income Tax Act | Delay in Form 10B Audit Report Filing Cannot Disentitle Charitable Trusts from Tax Deductions: ITAT Bangalore

ITAT Bangalore rules that charitable trusts remain entitled to Section 11 deductions despite delayed filing of Form 10B audit reports, provided the delay is bona fide. The tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to compute net income after allowing admissible expenditure, reinforcing that procedural lapses alone cannot deny substantive tax benefits to trusts.
