The SC had previously clarified for AY 2007-08 that the assessee was not a co-operative bank, making Section 80P(4) inapplicable. Since no changes in bye-laws were shown post-2007, the deduction was allowed. Staff retirement benefit disallowances under Section 36(1)(iv)/(v) were upheld but would be subsumed in the larger Section 80P(1) deduction. Interest on income tax refund was confirmed as taxable income under Section 56, not eligible for Section 80P deduction. en-us Wed, 05 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 06 Jun 2024 17:50:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=753669 The ITAT Cochin held that the assessee was eligible for deduction under Section 80P(1) read with Section 80P(2)(a)(i) for AY 2010-11 and 2011-12.
