It claimed exemption under section 10(21).Assessing Officer accepted assessee’s claim. Commissioner (E) was of view that income derived by assessee from Auditorium Hire charges, hoarding site and service charges, and rent was not incidental to objectives of assessee-trust and, thus, not eligible for exemption under section 10(21). On appeal the Tribunal held that since issue as to whether impugned income was incidental to objects of assessee-trust was a debatable issue, revisionary authority was not justified in setting aside order of Assessing Officer.
