Interest earned by a co-operative society from investments with a co-operative bank qualified for deduction under section 80P(2)(d). The Tribunal followed the Gujarat HC ruling in PCIT v. Ashwinkumar Arban Co-operative Society Ltd., holding that a co-operative bank remains a co-operative society for this purpose and that the exclusion in section 80P(4) does not prevent another co-operative society from claiming the deduction on such interest income. The disallowance was therefore unsustainable and the deduction claim was upheld on merits.
