III. Useful Case Laws:
1. M/s Arisudana Spinning Mills Ltd. Vs CIT, CIVIL APPEAL NO. 1466 OF 2008, Dated: 05-09-2012, Supreme Court of India
Issue:
Whether AO is entitled to estimate eligible profits u/s 80IA in the absence of separate books for goods manufactured.
Held:
We are not concerned with the interpretation of Section 80IA of the Act. On facts, we find that the assessee ought to have maintained a separate account in respect of raw material which it had sold during the assessment year. If the assessee had maintained a separate account, then, in that event, a clear picture would have emerged which would have indicated the income accrued from the manufacturing activity and the income accrued on the sale of raw material. We do not know the reason why separate accounts were not maintained for the raw material sold and for the income derived from manufacture of yarn. Thus the appeals filed by the assessee are dismissed.

2. DIT Vs. FOUNDATION OF OPHTHALMIC & OPTOMETRY RESEARCH EDUCATION CENTRE, ITA 1687/2010, DECIDED ON: 16.08.2012, High court of Delhi
Issue:
Whether Commissioner/Director is required to examine the question whether the Trust has actually commenced and has, in fact, carried on charitable activities for granting registration 12AA?
Held:
That the statute does not prohibit or enjoin the Commissioner from registering Trust solely based on its objects, without any activity, in the case of a newly registered Trust. Also the statute does not prescribe a waiting period, for a trust to qualify itself for registration.
Hon’ble Delhi High Court held that, at the time of granting registration u/s 12AA of IT Act, the concerned Commissioner /Director is not required to examine the question whether the trust has actually commenced and has carried on charitable activities or not and at that time the objects of the trust/society from the trust deed/memorandum of objects have to be taken into consideration.
