The Tribunal held that making a protective addition first and then a substantive addition later is not sustainable. A protective addition should follow a substantive addition when there is doubt about taxability in multiple assessee's hands.
The Tribunal held that the assessee is not a cooperative bank requiring a license under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, and is therefore eligible for deduction under Section 80P. The claim is allowed in principle, with the Assessing Officer to verify consequential computations.

Bank Ltd., held that interest income earned from deposits in co-operative banks is eligible for deduction under Section 80P(2)(d), not Section 80P(2)(a)(i). Necessary computations are to be made accordingly.
