The Jagadhri Co-Operative Marketing ... vs The Pr.Cit, Panchkula on 12 January, 2024
20. Now, coming to the decision of the Hon'ble Punjab and Haryana High Court
in case of CIT Vs. Punjab State Cooperative Federation of Housing Building
Societies Ltd (Supra), the question for consideration before the Hon'ble High
Court was whether the Tribunal was right in holding that interest income from
commercial banks, being attributable to business activity of the assessee
qualifies for deduction u/s 80P(2)(a)(i) of the Act ignoring the fact that direct
source of income is not the loans advanced to members of the society and it is
only the interest income from commercial banks in form of fixed deposits and
10
saving bank accounts.
