Tax exemption was denied due to clerical error in ITR filing; ITAT Bangalore gives relief, says tax dept cant take advantage of this error

In one case, a charitable trust's Section 11 exemption remained intact despite a missing registration detail. The tribunal emphasized that the tax department cannot use taxpayer errors against them.
