Yes... the Hon’ble High Court in the case of Pr. Commissioner of Income Tax and Anr. Vs. Totagars Cooperative Sale Society (2017) 392 ITR 74 (Karn) and Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat in the case of State Bank Of India Vs. CIT (2016) 389 ITR 578 (Guj), had observed, that the interest income earned by a co-operative society on its investments held with a co-operative bank would be eligible for claim of deduction under Sec.80P(2)(d) of the Act.

Conflicting views are there which are diametrically opposite each other. The Hon'ble High Court of Bombay in the case of K.Subramanian and Anr. Vs. Siemens India Ltd. and Anr (1985) 156 ITR 11 (Bom) has held that where there is a conflict between the decisions of non-jurisdictional High Courts, then a view which is in favour of the assessee is to be preferred as against that taken against him. [ Please see the correct discussion on the issue of 80P(2)(d) in Rena Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd., vs.Pr. Commissioner of Income-tax 2, Aurangabad - ITAT Pune [ITA No.1249//PUN/2018 dated 07/01/2022]. Good luck
