17 February 2009 Income of a co-operative society engaged in certain specific business activities such as providing banking or credit facilities to its members, cottage industry and others...., is fully deductible.
However, the provision of this sction shall not apply to any cooperative bank other than a primary agricultural credit society or a primary cooperative agricultural and rural development bank.
Is benefit of this section available to Cooperative credit society engaged in providing banking or credit facilities to its members?

17 February 2009 The exemption will be available only if the banking and credit facilities will be limited to members only. If this facility is provided to everyone then exemption will not be allowed.
