<h1>Vice President allows deduction under section 80P(2)(d) for interest income from cooperative banks.</h1> <h3>Namdeo Kadam Gramin Bigar Sheti Sahakari Pat Sanstha Ltd. Versus ITO, Ward-3, Satara</h3> Namdeo Kadam Gramin Bigar Sheti Sahakari Pat Sanstha Ltd. Versus ITO, Ward-3, Satara - TMI Issues:The judgment involves the issue of deduction u/s 80P of the Income-tax Act on interest income earned from cooperative banks for the assessment years 2018-19 & 2020-21.Comprehensive Details:1. Background and Appeal: The appeals by the assessee were filed against the ex parte orders passed by the CIT(A) in relation to the assessment years 2018-19 & 2020-21, disallowing the deduction claimed u/s 80P amounting to Rs.22,40,771/- and Rs.26,85,471/- towards interest income earned from cooperative banks.2. Decision Basis: The issue revolved around the eligibility of cooperative societies for deduction u/s 80P(2)(d) of the Act on interest income from cooperative banks. The Pune Bench's decision in Rena Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd. Vs. Pr.CIT clarified that despite certain co-operative banks not being eligible for deduction under section 80P(4) since 1.4.2007, a registered cooperative society can claim deduction u/s 80P(2)(d) on interest income from investments/deposits in a cooperative bank meeting the criteria of a registered cooperative society under the Act.3. Judgment: The Vice President, following the precedent set by the Division Bench, overturned the orders of the CIT(A) and directed to grant deduction u/s 80P(2)(d) of the Act on the interest income earned from various cooperative banks for the respective assessment years.4. Outcome: Consequently, both appeals were allowed, and the order was pronounced in the Open Court on 18th May 2023.
