I-T exemptions for private varsities
Private universities can claim income-tax exemption only on two conditions: Firstly, an educational institution or a university must be solely for the purpose of education and without any profit motive. Secondly, it must be wholly or substantially financed by the government. Both conditions must be satisfied under Section 10(23C) (iiiab) of the Income Tax Act before exemption can be granted, the Supreme Court ruled in the case, Visvesvaraya Technological University vs CIT. The university's claim under this provision was rejected by the revenue authorities, leading to the appeal.
