Deduction of cost of funds from deposit income of a primary agricultural credit co-operative society requires fresh consideration in light of Totagars Co-operative Sale Society. The claim for proportionate administrative and other expenditure remains open for adjudication. The impugned intimation, assessment orders and consequential penalty orders for the relevant assessment years were quashed, and the matter was remanded to the competent authorities. The society may submit objections and reply to the notice issued under section 142(1).
