Disallowance of deduction claimed under section 80P(2)(a)(i) of the Income Tax Act.2. Interpretation of provisions of section 80P(2)(a)(i) regarding deduction eligibility.3. Applicability of case law in determining deduction eligibility for cooperative societies.4. Granting of basic deduction under section 80P(2)(c) for cooperative societies engaged in specified activities.5. Clarification on the scope of 'profits and gains' under section 80P(2)(c) for cooperative societies.Analysis:Issue 1: The appeal was against the order disallowing a deduction claimed under section 80P(2)(a)(i) of the Act. The Assessing Officer (AO) disallowed the deduction of interest income received from non-members as it was not considered eligible under the said provision.Issue 2: The Tribunal analyzed the provisions of section 80P(2)(a)(i) and held that only income derived from activities related to providing credit facilities to members of a cooperative society is eligible for deduction. Income from non-members does not qualify for the deduction under this section.Issue 3: The case law cited by the Assessee regarding the entitlement of cooperative societies to the deduction under section 80P(2)(a)(i) was examined. The Tribunal differentiated between income attributable to members and non-members, emphasizing that only profits related to members are deductible.Issue 4: The Tribunal considered the provisions of section 80P(2)(c) which provide for a basic deduction for cooperative societies engaged in activities other than those specified in clauses (a) or (b) of section 80P(2). It was emphasized that such deductions must be granted, even for activities like rental income or interest income from surplus funds.Issue 5: The Tribunal clarified that the term 'profits and gains' under section 80P(2)(c) is not limited to business profits. It highlighted a case where income from activities not covered under section 80P(2)(a)(i) was granted the basic exemption provided under section 80P(2)(c)(ii).In conclusion, the Tribunal allowed the appeal filed by the Assessee, directing the AO to grant the deduction under section 80P(2)(c) of the Act. The judgment provided a detailed analysis of the provisions, case laws, and interpretations relevant to the issues raised in the appeal.
