Summary
- The ITAT Chennai has allowed Muthumalai Murugan Trust's appeal, directing the renewal of its Section 80G approval for providing free meals.
- The Commissioner of Income Tax (Exemptions) had previously denied the renewal, citing the trust's religious and charitable purposes as ineligible.
- The Tribunal found that the trust's activities remained unchanged and focused solely on charitable meal distribution, not religious activities.
- This ruling reinforces the trust's eligibility under Section 80G, with significant implications for similar charitable organizations seeking tax exemptions.
