Inadvertent filing of the concessional-regime option form by a...

Inadvertent filing of the concessional-regime option form by a credit co-operative society does not, by itself, require assessment under that regime where the return was filed under the old regime, claimed the statutory deduction available to credit co-operative societies, and expressly stated that no concessional-regime option was exercised. The filing was not treated as an attempted withdrawal of an option after filing a return under the new regime. Processing the return under the concessional regime and disallowing the deduction were unjustified; the appellate order was set aside and the deduction claim was accepted.
