6. We have heard the rival submissions and perused the relevant
material on record. We find that a similar issue arose before the
Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of Quepem Urban Co-operative
Credit Society (supra). In the above case, the assessee was a Co-
operative Society registered under the Goa Co-operative Societies Act
and it was engaged in providing credit facilities to its members. The
income so earned from the said activity, was claimed as deduction
u/s 80P(2)(a)(i) of the Act. The AO disallowed the assessee's claim on
the ground that the assessee was a primary Co-operative Bank and,
therefore, hit by the provisions of section 80P(4) which excluded the
benefit of section 80P. However, the Commissioner (Appeals) allowed
the assessee's claim holding that it was not a Cooperative Bank but a
Cooperative Credit Society. The Tribunal restored the AO's order. On
appeal, the Hon'ble Bombay High Court held that on facts, the
assessee was not a Cooperative Bank rather it was a Cooperative
Society and, therefore, its claim for deduction was to be allowed.

operative Bank and thus eligible for deduction u/s 80P(2)(a)(i). The
learned CIT(A) further held the dividend income of Rs. 1,38,720/-
received by the assessee Co-operative Society from its shareholdings
in other Co-operative Societies as eligible for deduction u/s
80P(2)(d). In view of the above, the learned CIT(A) allowed the
appeal filed by the assessee.
