Jaipur tribunal sets aside Section 80G rejection for trust following Section 12AB registration

The Jaipur bench of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal directed the approval of Section 80G status for Kaushalam Foundation. This directive came after the trust secured its Section 12AB registration, which effectively cleared the objections previously raised against its initial application.

Charitable entities depend on Section 80G certification to attract donations by offering tax deductions to contributors. Resolving basic registration under Section 12AB removes the primary barrier preventing trusts from obtaining this parallel tax-exempt status.

The trust must now complete the consequential approval formalities with the tax authorities to officially activate the Section 80G status for its donors.
