Interest and dividend earned by a co-operative society from deposits or investments with a co-operative bank qualify for deduction under section 80P(2)(d). A co-operative bank registered under co-operative societies law retains its character as a co-operative society for this purpose. Section 80P(4) excludes a co-operative bank from claiming deduction on its own income, but does not bar another co-operative society from claiming deduction on income derived from investments with that bank. The deduction applies to interest and dividends from the co-operative bank; expense-allocation grounds were not pressed.
