Section 11 IT Act | Mutual Concern Principle Saves Charitable Trust from Tax Exemption Denial : ITAT Ahmedabad
ITAT Ahmedabad rules that Gujarat Hira Bourse qualifies as a mutual concern, entitling it to exemption under Sections 11 & 12 of the Income Tax Act. The tribunal rejected the Revenue’s argument that the assessee’s activities fell under the proviso to Section 2(15), affirming that mutual organizations engaged in trade promotion for members retain charitable status.
