2022 (8) TMI 89 - AT - Income TaxRevision u/s 263 by CIT - eligibility of deduction u/s 80P - assessment order as an erroneous one causing prejudice to the interest of Revenue - Assessing Officer had wrongly accepted its section 80P(2)(a) deduction claim regarding interest income derived from deposits made in the co-operative banks - HELD THAT:- As decided recently in RENA SAHAKARI SAKHAR KARKHANA LTD [2022 (1) TMI 419 - ITAT PUNE]though the co-operative banks pursuant to the insertion of sub-section (4) to Sec. 80P would no more be entitled for claim of deduction under Sec. 80P of the Act, but as a co-operative bank continues to be a co-operative society registered under the Co-operative Societies Act, 1912 (2 of 1912), or under any other law for the time being in force in any State for the registration of co-operative societies, therefore, the interest income derived by a co-operative society from its investments held with a co-operative bank would be entitled for claim of deduction under Sec.80P(2)(d). As the A.O while framing the assessment had taken a possible view, and allowed the assessee‟s claim for 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 of the Act for dislodging the same. Accordingly, finding no justification on the part of the Pr. CIT, who in exercise of his powers under Sec. 263 of the Act, 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) - Decided in favour of assessee.
