Summary
- The ITAT Jodhpur has ruled in favor of Mewar University, allowing the appeal for AY 2017-18 and directing the deletion of ā¹26,50,000 in corpus contributions from taxable income.
- The Tribunal found that the contributions were specifically directed towards the corpus and should not be treated as ordinary revenue receipts merely due to the exemption claimed under section 10(23C)(vi).
- It emphasized that the character of a receipt must be determined by its real purpose, not solely by the exemption provision invoked.
- This decision clarifies the treatment of corpus donations and could influence future tax assessments for educational institutions claiming similar exemptions.
