Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat defended the organisation’s legal status, stating that it is recognised by authorities as a “body of individuals” rather than a registered entity. He clarified that the Income Tax Department and courts have acknowledged this status, granting the RSS tax exemptions accordingly. Bhagwat compared the RSS’s unregistered nature to that of Hindu Dharma itself, saying neither requires formal registration. He also referenced past government bans on the RSS as indirect recognition of its existence under Indian law. (PC: The Hindu)
