2019 (12) TMI 80 - AT - Income TaxRevision u/s 263 - prejudicial to the interest of the revenue - Deduction u/s 80P - interest income derived by the co-operative society from its investments - HELD THAT - We find that as held by the Hon ble High Court of Bombay in the case of K. Subramanian and Anr. Vs. Siemens India Ltd. and Anr 1983 (4) TMI 3 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT where there is a conflict between the decisions of non-jurisdictional High Court s then a view which is in favour of the assessee is to be preferred as against that taken against him. Accordingly taking support from the aforesaid judicial pronouncement of the Hon ble High Court of jurisdiction we respectfully follow the view taken by the Hon ble High Court of Karnataka in the case of Pr. Commissioner of Income Tax and Anr. Vs. Totagars Cooperative Sale Society 2017 (7) TMI 1049 - KARNATAKA HIGH COURT and State Bank Of India Vs. CIT 2016 (7) TMI 516 - GUJARAT HIGH COURT wherein it was observed that the interest income earned by a cooperative society on its investments held with a co-operative bank would be eligible for claim of deduction under Sec.80P(2)(d) of the Act. A.O while framing the assessment had taken a possible view and therein concluded that the assessee would be entitled for claim of deduction under Sec. 80P(2)(d) on the interest income earned on its investments/deposits with co-operative banks therefore the Pr. CIT was in error in exercising his revisional jurisdiction u/s 263 for dislodging the same. In fact as observed by us hereinabove the aforesaid view taken by the A.O at the time of framing of the assessment was clearly supported by the order of the jurisdictional Tribunal in the case of Land and Cooperative Housing Society Ltd. Vs. ITO 2016 (2) TMI 620 - ITAT MUMBAI Accordingly finding no justification on the part of the Pr. CIT who in exercise of his powers under Sec. 263 had dislodged the view that was taken by the A.O as regards the eligibility of the assessee towards claim of deduction under Sec. 80P(2)(d) we set aside his order and restore the order passed by the A.O under Sec. 143(3) - Appeal filed by the assessee is allowed.
