<h1>Court Rules in Favor of Assessee on Commission Charges Exemption</h1> The court ruled in favor of the assessee in a case concerning the exemption of commission charges under section 80P(2)(a)(iii) of the Income-tax Act, ... Co-operative Society, Exemptions Issues Involved:1. Exemption of commission charges u/s 80P(2)(a)(iii) of the Income-tax Act, 1961.2. Exemption of interest, godown charges, insurance charges, and rebate on insurance charges u/s 80P(2)(a)(i) of the Income-tax Act, 1961.Summary:Issue 1: Exemption of Commission Charges u/s 80P(2)(a)(iii)The Tribunal was asked whether the commission charges of Rs. 27,383 received by the assessee from its members were exempt u/s 80P(2)(a)(iii) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. The assessee, a co-operative society, derived income from ginning and pressing cotton received from its members and others, and also from marketing cotton. The ITO denied the exemption, arguing that the cotton ceased to be agricultural produce after ginning and pressing, and that the cotton marketed was not exclusively from the members. The AAC disagreed, granting the exemption, and the Tribunal upheld this decision. The court concluded that the commission earned from marketing the cotton of its members was indeed exempt under s. 80P(2)(a)(iii), as the process of ginning and pressing did not alter the nature of the cotton as agricultural produce.Issue 2: Exemption of Interest, Godown Charges, Insurance Charges, and Rebate on Insurance Charges u/s 80P(2)(a)(i)The Tribunal was also asked whether the amounts of Rs. 1,46,838 and Rs. 8,284, representing interest, godown charges, insurance charges, and rebate on insurance charges, were exempt u/s 80P(2)(a)(i). The ITO taxed these amounts, viewing them as penalties or charges for delayed payments. The AAC and the Tribunal disagreed, holding that these amounts were recoveries attributable to the marketing of agricultural produce of the members and thus exempt. The court clarified that these amounts were part of the profits and gains of the business attributable to the marketing activity of the society and were deductible under s. 80P(2)(a), though not specifically under s. 80P(2)(a)(i).Conclusion:1. The commission charges of Rs. 27,383 were exempt under s. 80P(2)(a)(iii).2. The amounts of Rs. 1,46,838 and Rs. 8,284 were exempt under s. 80P(2)(a), not specifically under s. 80P(2)(a)(i).The Commissioner was ordered to pay the costs of the reference to the assessee.
