In January, 2015, ISKCON had submitted a proposal to the government stating a donor had come forward to donate them land admeasuring 23824.75 sq meters which was valued at Rs 5.95 crore. The registration charges on the gift deed worked out to Rs 23.82 lakh.
It being a public charitable trust was not even in a position to bear a burden of registration fee on the piece of land donated. And sought to exempt it from payment of registration charges to enable them to accept donated land.
