1. By -Co-Operative society engaged in banking activities -do you mean that it is a co-operative bank. Co-Opertative Banks are not allowed deduction in respect of their banking activities from AY 2007-08. 2. If it is not a bank then also interest will not exempt as the same is not received by a Co-operative Bank or a co-operative society.
