Medical relief for patients and creating awareness about HIV and AIDS for purpose of its eradication are charitable activities in the form of medical relief. Merely because the assessee was a company and receiving grant and also charging management fee for implementing project on behalf of various organisations would not make the activity of the assessee as business activity or non charitable. Denial of registration is held to be not justified. (AY. 2010-11)
