The Tribunal, while clubbing and hearing the appeals, noted that the issues were similar and identical. The Tribunal referred to a co-ordinate bench decision in The Jayanagar Co-operative Society Vs. ITO, which dealt with the chargeability of interest income from surplus funds as 'income from other sources' versus business income, and the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Totgar’s Co-operative Sales Society Ltd. Vs. ITO. The Tribunal also considered the definition of 'members' and 'associate members' under the TNCS Act and the Supreme Court's observations in the Citizen Cooperative Society Limited case regarding the insertion of Sub-Section (4) to Section 80P. For the issue of nominal members being eligible for benefits, the Tribunal relied on decisions in Trapaj Vibhageeya Khet Udyog Mal Rupantar Food Processing Sahakari Mandali Ltd. Vs. DCIT and Prin. CIT Vs. S-1308 Ammapet Primary Agricultural Co-operative Bank Ltd. The Tribunal found that nominal members are eligible for the benefits of a credit society. Accordingly, the Tribunal restored the entire disputed issue to the file of the Assessing Officer to adjudicate afresh on the chargeability of interest income and the eligibility of nominal members, providing adequate opportunity for hearing. The grounds of appeal of the assessees were allowed for statistical purposes.

The Tribunal held that the show cause notice issued for penalty proceedings was defective as it did not specify whether the penalty was for concealment of income or furnishing inaccurate particulars. Following the jurisdictional High Court's decision, the Tribunal found the penalty imposition unsustainable.

The initiation of penalty proceedings was considered to be linked to the earlier TDS default orders, not the later show-cause notice.
The Tribunal admitted an additional ground regarding the computation of capacity utilization.
