Deduction under this section is allowable only to the Co-operative societies other than those specified in Section u/s 80P(2)(a) and u/s 80P(2)(b) of the Act. The assessee fall in section u/s 80P(2)(b) of the Act. Hence deduction of ₹ 50,000/- claimed u/s 80P(2)(c) of the Act is being disallowed." We find that section 80P(2)(c) reads as follows: "(c) in the case of a co-operative society engaged in activities other than those specified in clause (a) or clause (b) (either independently of, or in addition to, all or any of the activities so specified), so much of its profits and gains attributable to such activities as (does not exceed, - Where such co-operative society is a consumers' cooperative society, [one hundred] thousand rupees; and (ii) In any other case, [fif....

The Learned Assessing Officer disallowed the claim of ₹ 82,84,339/- also by observing as stated above in this order. On appeal, the Learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) deleted the disallowance of ₹ 82,84,339/- for the reasons also quoted above in this order. We find that the Learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) deleted the disallowance of deduction by following the order of the Tribunal passed in the case of the assessee itself for Assessment Year 2004-05. The Learned Departmental Representative could not point out any good reason as to why the above order of the Tribunal passed in the case of the assessee itself for the Assessment Year 2004-05 should not have been followed by the Learned Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) for the Assessment Year under appeal also. However, we find that in the order of assessment the Learned Assessing Officer observed that from the perusal of profit and loss account of Dairy business and cattle feed business of the assessee that certain common expenses were debited in Dairy Business which were also attri....
