AO ] wherein the assessee was denied the benefit of deduction under section 80P(2)(d) of the act of Rs. 510,497/- and on appeal it was confirmed. 2. Thus, the only grievance of the assessee is that the CIT - (A) erred in confirming the action of The Assistant Director of Income Tax, central processing Centre in denying the deduction of Rs. 510,497/- under section 80P(2)(d) of the act. 3. Briefly, the fact is that assessee is a cooperative housing society. It filed its return of income on 18/12/2021 at a total income of Rs. 1,812,150/-. The assessee has claimed deduction under chapter VIA of the act of Rs. 560,497/- wherein the deduction of Rs. 50,000/- and a fur .....

We find that under the provisions of section 143 (1) of the act following adjustments are permitted:- (a) the total income or loss shall be computed after making the following adjustments, namely:- (i) any arithmetical error in the return; 68[***] (ii) an incorrect claim if such incorrect claim is apparent from any information in the return; 69[(iii) disallowance of loss claimed, if return of the previous year for which set off of loss is claimed was furnished beyond the due date specified under sub-section (1) of section 139; (iv) disallowance of expenditure 70[or increase in income] indica .....

Therefore, in terms of the provisions of section 80(P)(2)(d) read with the provisions of section 2(19) of the income tax act where the definition of cooperative societies is provided and further reading the same with respect to the Maharashtra cooperative societies act, it is apparently clear that the cooperative banks are also the cooperative societies under that act. Therefore, the assessee is eligible for a deduction of Rs. 510,497/- earned by the assessee cooperative society from the investment made in another cooperative society i.e., Maharashtra state cooperative Bank Limited u/s 80P(2)(d) of The Act. 13.
