The Supreme Court, in the batch of appeals pertaining to educational institutions, overrules Division Bench rulings in Queen’s Education Society v CIT (2015) 8 SCC 47 (SC). and American Hotel and Lodging Association v Central Board of Direct Taxes, (2008) 10 SCC 509 (SC) on the interpretation of the word ‘solely’ occurring in Section 10(23C) where 'predominant object' test laid down by the Constitution Bench ruling in Addl. CIT v Surat Art Silk Cloth Manufacturers’ Association, (1980) 2 SCC 31 (SC) was followed;
Supreme Court holds that the education institutions shall 'solely’ engage in education or educational activities, and not engage in any activity of profit, means that such institutions ‘cannot’ have objects which are unrelated to education;
SC dismisses Assessees’ appeals against denial of registration under Section 10(23C) by Andhra Pradesh High Court and holds that their claim for approval or registration will have to be considered in the light of subsequent events, if any, disclosed in fresh applications made in that regard;
Supreme Court opines that since the present judgment has departed from the previous rulings regarding the meaning of the term ‘solely’, in order to avoid disruption, and to give time to make appropriate changes and adjustments, it would be in the larger interests of society that the present judgment operates prospectively;
Supreme Court lays down the following principles for the purpose of educational institution's registration under Section 10(23C):
The requirement of the charitable institution, society or trust etc., to ‘solely’ engage itself in education or educational activities, and not engage in any activity of profit, means that such institutions ‘cannot’ have objects which are unrelated to education,
Where the objective of the institution appears to be profit-oriented, such institutions would not be entitled to approval under Section 10(23C) whereas the surplus accrued in a given year or set of years per se, is not a bar, provided such surplus is generated in the course of providing education or educational activities,
Seventh provision to Section 10(23C), as well as Section 11(4A) refer to profits which may be ‘incidentally’ generated or earned by the charitable institution, thus, applicable only to those institutions which impart education or are engaged in activities connected to education.
‘Business’ and ‘Profits’ in the seventh proviso to Section 10(23C) and Section 11(4A) merely means that the profits of business which is ‘incidental’ to educational activity i.e., relating to education such as sale of textbooks, providing school bus facilities, hostel facilities, etc.
While considering applications for approval under Section 10(23C), the Revenue is not bound to examine only the objects of the institution but to ascertain the genuineness of the institution and the manner of its functioning, is free to call for the audited accounts or other such documents for recording satisfaction where the society, trust or institution genuinely seeks to achieve the objects which it professes,
Wherever registration of trust or charities is obligatory under state or local laws, the concerned trust, society, other institution etc. seeking approval under Section 10(23C) should also comply with provisions of such state laws which would enable the Revenue to ascertain the genuineness of the trust, society etc.,
This reasoning is reinforced by the recent insertion of another proviso of Section 10(23C) with effect from 01.04.2021; Supreme Court observes that the Constitution reflects a value which equates education with charity which is to be treated as neither business, trade, nor commerce, by relying on Supreme Court ruling in T.M.A Pai Foundation, thus, observes,
“The interpretation of education being the ‘sole’ object of every trust or organization which seeks to propagate it, through this decision, accords with the constitutional understanding and, what is more, maintains its pristine and unsullied nature. – [New Noble Educational Society v. Chief Commissioner of Income Tax [TS-809-SC-2022] – Date of Judgement : 19.10.2022 (SC)]
Failure to issue a Show Cause Notice /Draft Assessment Order (SCN/DAO) under section 144B, before passing a faceless assessment order, is only a procedural irregularity. [P. T. Lee Chengalvaraya Naicker Trust v. ITO (2022) 143 taxmann.com 252 (Mad.)]
