Cooperative Housing Societies have to file their IT returns in Form 5...bt in this form..maintainence charges collected and such other collections from members...should be taken in the profit n loss account or should be taken under exemptions based on the concept of mutuality. Also if such income is taken under exemption den der is no scope of any expenses being claimed against it..but if taken in profit n loss account..whether excess of such income over the expenses of the society is chargeable to tax...n if yes..then whether under business n profession...????

In my view, the income received from contributions of members and the expenses should be taken to income and expenditure account. The excess,of income if any should be claimed exempt under the concept of mutuality under 'any other exempt income'. However, income from non members, interest from non coop banks is fully taxable.

Thanks alot Madhavi for ur reply.
