The Tribunal confirmed the disallowance under Section 40A(3) as no exemption was proven. However, it deleted the addition of peak credit to the directors' accounts, finding their creditworthiness sufficient. The ad-hoc disallowance of expenses was also deleted as it was uncalled for.

The Tribunal held that the assessee failed to establish a reasonable cause for not furnishing the audit report under Section 44AB. Therefore, the penalty imposed under Section 271B was rightly confirmed by the CIT(A).
The Tribunal held that the delay in filing the audit report was a technical breach and that the audit report being available to the Assessing Officer before the completion of assessment proceedings meant no prejudice was caused to the revenue. Therefore, the penalty under Section 271B was deleted.
The Tribunal found the CIT(A)'s order cryptic and lacking specific findings on the source of deposits.

Therefore, the issue was remitted to the Assessing Officer for fresh consideration.
The assessee explicitly stated they were not interested in pursuing the appeal. Therefore, the Tribunal dismissed the appeal as withdrawn.

The Tribunal held that the assessee is entitled to the deduction under Section 80P(2) of the Act. It reasoned that the assessee is a Multi-State Co-operative Society providing credit facilities to its members and is not a 'co-operative bank' as defined by Section 80P(4). The Tribunal found no evidence that the Reserve Bank of India had classified the assessee as a co-operative bank, and it was neither a Primary Agricultural Credit Society nor a Primary Co-operative Agricultural and Rural Development Bank. Therefore, Section 80P(4) was held to be inapplicable, aligning with the decisions of the Karnataka and Gujarat High Courts. Regarding the classification of income, the Tribunal held that the interest income earned by the assessee from deposits placed to meet statutory reserve requirements under the Multi-State Co-operative Societies Act, 2002, should be treated as business income, not income from other sources. The Tribunal distinguished the present case from Totgar's Co-operative Sale Society by noting that the deposits were not from sale proceeds but from statutory compulsions. It also relied on CBDT Circular No. 18/2015, which, in light of the Supreme Court's decision in Nawanshahar Central Co-operative Bank Ltd., clarifies that income from investments made by banking concerns is part of their business. The Tribunal allowed the assessee's cross-objection on this issue.
