Deduction under section 80P(2)(d) - Co-operative society - Interest received from co-operative bank - Allowability of
In the course of processing of return under section 143(1), AO disallowed assessee's claim of deduction under section 80P(2)(d), being the interest income from co-operative bank. On appeal, CIT(A) confirmed this disallowance by the AO. Held: That a cooperative society will not get exemption on the interest earned on deposits in cooperative bank is not something which is a subject-matter of adjustment under section 143(1)(a). Besides, on merit also, such disallowance is not permissible in view of Apex Court's decision in the case of Mavilayi Service Cooperative Bank Ltd. & Ors. v. CIT & Ors. [Civil Appeal Nos. 7343-7350 of 2019, dt. 12-1-2021] : (2021) 431 ITR 1 (SC) : 2021 TaxPub(DT) 0273 (SC). In view of this, AO was directed to allow, to the assessee-society, deduction under section 80P(2)(d).
