80P(2)(c) is Applicable to the Societies engaged in the activities other than or in addition to the activities specified in clause (a) and clause (b) . Such other Activities have directly not mentioned in this clause. . We have to infer the same from clause(f). . In clause (f) of Section 80P(2), certain types of Societies have been specifically excluded. . To such Excluded Societies clause (c) may apply but clause (f) will not apply. These are like Housing Society, Urban Consumers Society, Transporters' Society etc. . Such Specified Societies are covered under clause (c). . I may say that clause (f) will apply to only residual or remaining type of societies having Gross Total Income not exceeding Rs 20000/. . To such societies, which are having income <=20000/- deduction is allowable to the extent of the amount of - Interest on Securities or/and Income from House Property. The said deduction will not be allowed to such clause (f) societies, which are having GTI exceeding Rs. 20000/- .
In clause (c) deduction may be allowed of Rs. 100000/- or 50000/- from the profits of the business activities of the society. .
