AS LONG AS IT IS PROVED THAT THE ENTIRE INCOME OF THE SOCIETY IS USED ONLY FOR THE BENEFIT OF ITS MEMBERS WITHOUT ANY COMMERCIAL MOTIVE , THERE IS NO TAX PROBLEM. A SOCIETY IS TREATED IN THE EYES OF THE LAW AS AN ASSOCIATION OF PERSONS JOINING TOGETHER FOR A COMMON SERVICE OBJECTIVE TO SERVE THE MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY. R.V.RAO
