06 March 2009 (1) "If you are a resident person (other than a company, Co-operative society or a firm), you can submit Form 15G in duplicate..."

Source: https://www.icicibank.com/pfsuser/icicibank/investments/bankbonds/bond_faq.htm

I understand from the above that a Co-operative Society cannot submit Form 15 G

(2) However TDS provisions of Sec 194A do not apply "where interest is credited or paid by a co-operative society to ...any other co-operatvie society" (Source: Para 156.1 of 31st edition of Singhania's Direct Taxes Ready Reckoner)

So you may like to examine the scope for parking your surplus funds in other Co-operative societies or Co-operative Banks.

Earlier I was associated with an Employees' CCS. They were depositing in Co-operative Banks and getting Interest without TDS

06 March 2009 After reading Sri Mithun's reply, I checked up Para 175.4 of Singhania's Reckoner and found only "...Other than a company or firm...".

I fail to understand why ICICI Bank included "...Co-operative Society..."

I request that the opinion posted by me earlier be treated as withdrawn
