07 March 2012 As per sect. 5A of Banking Regulation Act 1949, co op credit society whose principal business is of a primary credit society doing the transaction of banking business and When its paid up capital and reserves attain the level of Rs.1 lakh, a primary credit society automatically becomes a primary co-operative bank.
Once the urban Co operative credit society and Pat-Pedhis are classified as Bank, by virtue of Section 80P(4) read with section 2(24)(viia) both of I. T. Act, 1961, they are not eligible for benefit provided under section 80P of the Income Tax Act,1961, from Assessment Year 2007-08.
Subject to above, other provisions of I Tax Act will be applicable.
As per my view income Tax will be applicable.
