2017 (7) TMI 1049 - HC - Income TaxEntitled to 100% deduction under Section 80P(2)(d) - income by way of interest earned during the relevant Assessment Years from 2007-2008 to 2011-2012 on the deposits or investments made by it during these years with a Co-operative Bank M/s. Kanara District Central Co-operative Bank Limited - Held that - Character of income depends upon the nature of activity for earning that income and though on the face of it the same may appear to be falling in any of the specified Clauses of Section 80P(2) of the Act but on a deeper analysis of the facts it may become ineligible for deduction under Section 80P(2) of the Act. The case in Udaipur Sahakari 2009 (7) TMI 11 - SUPREME COURT was that of Section 80P(2)(e) of the Act whereas in the present case it is under Section 80P(2)(d) of the Act. Hence the income by way of interest earned by deposit or investment of idle or surplus funds does not change its character irrespective of the fact whether such income of interest is earned from a schedule bank or a co-operative bank and thus clause (d) of Section 80P(2) of the Act would not apply in the facts and circumstances of the present case. The person or body corporate from which such interest income is received will not change its character viz. interest income not arising from its business operations which made it ineligible for deduction under Section 80P of the Act as held by the Hon ble Supreme Court. Appeals filed by the Revenue deserve to be allowed and the appeals filed by the assessee deserve to be dismissed.
