ESG running without registration for 5 yrs due to IT issue

Vice Chairman of ESG Subhash Faldessai has expressed confidence that registration of ESG will be renewed before the end of this financial year. He said that people are under false belief that ESG is being funded by the government. He said ESG generates its own funds by organising events and pays the salaries of its staff.

The registration of the Entertainment Society of Goa has not been renewed pending a case in the Income Tax Department.

The registration had expired in 2014 and the renewal cannot be done till the Income Tax court comes to a decision whether to give it exemption or not.

Neither the ESG can file returns while the case is pending.
