What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal held that the co-operative societies, being registered as primary agricultural credit societies under the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, are entitled to the benefit of Section 80P deduction. This decision followed the jurisdictional High Court's ruling in a similar case.

What were the facts?

The Revenue appealed against orders of the CIT(A) that allowed deduction under Section 80P to various co-operative societies. The Assessing Officer had disallowed this deduction, arguing that the societies were engaged in banking business and thus fell under Section 80P(4).

What were the issues?

Whether primary agricultural credit societies registered under the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act are eligible for deduction under Section 80P, and if their activities constitute 'banking business' disqualifying them from such deduction.

Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?

Section 80P,Section 80P(2),Section 80P(4)
