The<\/p>\n<p>assessee runs 16 educational institutions in different parts of the State.<\/p>\n<p>               (4) For the assessment year 1995-96, the assessee had not filed<\/p>\n<p>its return of income before the assessing authority. Therefore, the assessing<\/p>\n<p>authority had issued a notice under Section 148 of the Income Tax Act<\/p>\n<p>(&#8220;Act&#8221; for short). After receipt of the notice, the assessee had filed its return<\/p>\n<p>of income and also had claimed exemption from payment of tax under<\/p>\n<p>Section 10(22) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>               (5) The assessing authority has completed the assessments<\/p>\n<p>under Section 144 of the Act, denying the exemption claimed by the assessee<\/p>\n<p>I.T.A.No.107 of 2008 &amp;<br \/>\nconnected cases.                        &#8211; 2 &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>under Section 10(22) of the Act, on the sole ground that the assessee did not<\/p>\n<p>produce enough evidence to prove that the income was exclusively used by<\/p>\n<p>the assessee for the educational purpose.<\/p>\n<p>              (6) The findings and conclusions reached by the assessing<\/p>\n<p>authority was called in question by the assessee before the first appellate<\/p>\n<p>authority. The first appellate authority&#8217;s view is, that, the burden is on the<\/p>\n<p>assessee to prove that the income of the assessee is primarily used for<\/p>\n<p>educational purpose and since the assessee had not discharged its burden, the<\/p>\n<p>thinking of the first appellate authority is, that, the assessing authority is<\/p>\n<p>justified in passing the assessment order under Section 144 of the Act,<\/p>\n<p>denying the exemption claimed by the assessee under Section 10(22) of the<\/p>\n<p>Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>              (7) The assessee had carried the matter by filing the second<\/p>\n<p>appeal before the Tribunal. The Tribunal is of the view, that, the burden of<\/p>\n<p>proof is on the Department, to prove that the assessee had utilised the<\/p>\n<p>income derived from the educational institutions for any purpose other than<\/p>\n<p>the educational purpose. Since the assessing authority has not discharged its<\/p>\n<p>burden, the assessee is entitled to the exemption as provided under Section<\/p>\n<p>10(22) of the Act. The reasoning of the Tribunal in this regard is as under:<\/p>\n<p>              &#8220;A plain reading of the above (Aims and Objects)<\/p>\n<p>       makes it clear that whatever income or financial gain<\/p>\n<p>I.T.A.No.107 of 2008 &amp;<br \/>\nconnected cases.                        &#8211; 3 &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      acquired from the normal course of activity of the society was<\/p>\n<p>      to be utilised only for fulfilling the aims and objects of the<\/p>\n<p>      society which were educational and other related activities. It<\/p>\n<p>      is not the case of the Department that the assessee-society was<\/p>\n<p>      not running the educational institutions.     They had only a<\/p>\n<p>      doubt that since some properties were sold during the year<\/p>\n<p>      1996, a profit motive cannot be ruled out. Since the assessing<\/p>\n<p>      officer has not specifically pointed out any instance of the<\/p>\n<p>      funds of the society being used for any other activity than<\/p>\n<p>      educational activity, we are not inclined to agree with the<\/p>\n<p>      finding of the assessing officer. The CIT(Appeals) was wrong<\/p>\n<p>      in saying that it was the duty of the assessee to prove that it is<\/p>\n<p>      not indulging in any profit making activity.          It was the<\/p>\n<p>      assessing officer who issued notice u\/s 148 to the assessee-<\/p>\n<p>      society to file its return of income on the ground that<\/p>\n<p>      exemption u\/s 10(22) is available to it only if it is running the<\/p>\n<p>      educational institutions without any profit motive, and hence,<\/p>\n<p>      the onus was on the Department to prove that the assessee is<\/p>\n<p>      indulging in any profit making activity. This onus has not<\/p>\n<p>      been discharged by the Department. In the circumstances, in<\/p>\n<p>      the light of the Board&#8217;s Circulars and the case laws relied on<\/p>\n<p>      by the ld. representative of the assessee, we deem it necessary<\/p>\n<p>      to set aside the orders of the lower authorities and direct the<\/p>\n<p>      assessing officer to grant exemption u\/s 10(22) of the I.T. Act<\/p>\n<p>      to the assessee for all these years under appeal. We do so.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>              (8) Revenue, being aggrieved by the orders so passed by the<\/p>\n<p>Tribunal, is before us in these appeals.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I.T.A.No.107 of 2008 &amp;<br \/>\nconnected cases.                        &#8211; 4 &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>             (9)   The Revenue has framed the following questions of law<\/p>\n<p>for our consideration and decision. They are as under:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>             &#8220;1.    Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances<\/p>\n<p>      of the case and by placing the burden on the Revenue the<\/p>\n<p>      Tribunal is right in law and fact in holding that &#8220;unless it is<\/p>\n<p>      proved that any institution or society was running for profit<\/p>\n<p>      making and not for educational purposes the exemption under<\/p>\n<p>      section 10(22) cannot be denied&#8221; and is not the finding wrong<\/p>\n<p>      and to be ignored, the same being one wrongly placing the<\/p>\n<p>      burden on the Revenue?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             2.     Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances<\/p>\n<p>      of the case did the assessee discharge the burden of proof that<\/p>\n<p>      lay on it?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             3.     Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances<\/p>\n<p>      of the case the Tribunal is right in law and fact in finding that<\/p>\n<p>      since the Assessing Officer has not specifically pointed any<\/p>\n<p>      instance of the funds of the society being used for any other<\/p>\n<p>      activity than educational activity&#8221; and is not the finding in the<\/p>\n<p>      light Parimseth Seetharamamma (57 ITR 532) wrong and to<\/p>\n<p>      be ignored in view of the same being formed by putting the<\/p>\n<p>      burden on the Revenue?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             4.     Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances<\/p>\n<p>      of the case, the Tribunal is right in law and fact in holding<\/p>\n<p>      that the onus was on the Department to prove that the<\/p>\n<p>      assessee is indulging in any profit making activity&#8221; and is not<\/p>\n<p>      the approach and the conclusion of the Tribunal vitiated?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             5.     Whether, on the facts and in the circumstances<\/p>\n<p>I.T.A.No.107 of 2008 &amp;<br \/>\nconnected cases.                           &#8211; 5 &#8211;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       of the case, is not for the assessee who claims the exemption<\/p>\n<p>       to prove the same and is not the very approach of the Tribunal<\/p>\n<p>       wrong and the conclusion vitiated and nonest?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>              (10) It is the case of the assessee, that, it is managing sixteen<\/p>\n<p>educational institutions. It is its further case that the entire income derived is<\/p>\n<p>primarily used for the educational purpose and, therefore, entitled for<\/p>\n<p>exemption under Section 10(22) of the Act. The assessing authority, while<\/p>\n<p>completing the assessment proceedings under Section 144 of the Act, has not<\/p>\n<p>stated that the income of the assessee has been utilised for any purpose other<\/p>\n<p>than the educational purpose. In order to deny the claim\/benefit under<\/p>\n<p>Section 10(22) of the Act, the assessing authority is expected to give a<\/p>\n<p>finding that the income of the assessee has been utilised for a purpose other<\/p>\n<p>than the educational purpose. In the instant case, the assessing authority<\/p>\n<p>merely proceeds on an assumption that the assessee has purchased some<\/p>\n<p>property sometime in the year 1992-93.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>              (11) The Tribunal, in our opinion, having carefully perused the<\/p>\n<p>orders of assessment passed by the assessing authority and the orders passed<\/p>\n<p>by the first appellate authority, has, rightly, reversed those findings and has<\/p>\n<p>come to the conclusion that the income of the assessee is primarily used for<\/p>\n<p>the educational purpose and, therefore, it is entitled for exemption under<\/p>\n<p>Section 10(22) of the Act. In our view, the Tribunal has not committed any<\/p>\n<p>I.T.A.No.107 of 2008 &amp;<br \/>\nconnected cases.                       &#8211; 6 &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>error, whatsoever, which would call for our interference in these appeals.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, while answering the questions of law framed by the Revenue<\/p>\n<p>against the Revenue and in favour of the assessee, we reject these appeals.<\/p>\n<p>             Ordered accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                      H.L.Dattu<br \/>\n                                                    Chief Justice<\/p>\n<p>                                                   A.K.Basheer<br \/>\n                                                       Judge<br \/>\nvku\/dk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court The Commissioner Of Income Tax vs Shree Vidyadhiraja Vidya Samajam on 23 October, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM ITA.No. 107 of 2008() 1.
