Tribunal allows appeal, grants deduction under Sec 80P(2)(d) for interest income from co-op banks
The Tribunal allowed the appeal, setting aside the CIT(A)'s order and directing the Assessing Officer to allow the deduction under Section 80P(2)(d) for interest income earned from co-operative banks, following the decision of the Hon'ble Gujarat High Court.
Issues Involved: - Appeal against the Tribunal's order regarding deduction under Section 80P(2) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 for interest earned from co-operative banks.
Analysis:
Issue 1: Tribunal's Decision and Miscellaneous Application The appeal filed by the assessee was earlier disposed of by the Tribunal, where the issue raised in Ground Nos. 3-5 regarding the deduction under Section 80P(2) for interest earned from co-operative banks was decided against the assessee. The assessee filed a Miscellaneous Application pointing out that the Tribunal's decision did not consider the judgment of the Hon'ble Gujarat High Court in a relevant case. The Tribunal accepted the mistake and allowed the Miscellaneous Application for fresh adjudication of Ground Nos. 3 to 5.
Issue 2: Adjudication of Claim for Deduction Upon hearing both sides, it was noted that the issue of deduction under Section 80P(2) for interest income earned from Co-operative Banks was covered in favor of the assessee by the decision of the Hon'ble Gujarat High Court in the State Bank of India case. The Court held that interest earned from funds invested in co-operative societies is exempt under Section 80P(2)(d) of the Act. As the interest in question was earned from co-operative banks, the Tribunal, following the decision of the Hon'ble jurisdictional High Court, allowed the claim for deduction under Section 80P(2)(d) of the Act. Consequently, the impugned order by the CIT(A) was set aside, and the Assessing Officer was directed to allow the deduction.
Conclusion: The Tribunal allowed the appeal of the assessee, setting aside the CIT(A)'s order and directing the Assessing Officer to allow the deduction under Section 80P(2)(d) for the interest income earned from co-operative banks. The judgment was pronounced in open court on 17th June 2022 at Ahmedabad.
