    Concessional tax option for resident co-operative societies permits a reduced corporate rate subject to strict disallowances.
    A new provision allows resident co-operative societies to opt for a concessional tax regime from the assessment year beginning 1 April 2021 where the society elects the option by the prescribed due date; the option is irrevocable and applies to subsequent years.

    Judicial custody applied where investigative agency failed to demonstrate necessity for police or CBI custodial interrogation.
    The magistrate refused the investigating agency's request for custodial interrogation, finding insufficient grounds for police/CBI custody and remanding the accused to judicial custody pending further production. The accused and co accused presented conflicting accounts-one alleging he had been investigating a larger fraud and that superiors failed to act-while defence counsel warned of administrative consequences arising from custody. The magistrate applied the requirement that custodial remand be justified by demonstrable investigative necessity rather than allegation alone.

    Pre-deposit requirement can be satisfied before the appeal is first taken up for consideration, permitting admission if paid.
    The pre-deposit obligation is an independent mandatory condition distinct from the limitation period for filing or condoning delay; it need not be discharged at filing but can be satisfied up to the moment the appellate authority first takes the appeal up for consideration for condonation or admission. If proof of payment of the specified tax dues is not produced by that first consideration, the appellate authority must reject the appeal as institutionally defective and has no power to extend time to deposit.

    Search and seizure authorization: proper officer's reason to believe permits prohibition orders and provisional release via clause six.
    Section 67 empowers an authorised proper officer, not below Joint Commissioner, to search and seize goods or documents when he has reason to believe they are secreted; if seizure is impracticable, a prohibition on dealing with goods may be issued under Rule 139(4). "Secreted" includes items not kept in their normal place or likely to be kept out of the way, and the officer must have a reasoned belief before exercising search powers. Procedural accuracy in authorisation and forms is required, and clause (6) permits provisional release on bond, security or payment.
