Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether a surplus from member contributions in a cooperative housing society is considered taxable income. Generally, such surpluses are exempt based on the principle of mutuality, meaning no Income Tax Return needs to be filed if there's no other taxable income. However, it's advised to consult Section 80P(e) of the Income Tax Act for specific details on cooperative society taxation.

The surplus member contribution is exempt on basis of mutuality and there is no need to file IT Return in absence of any taxable income
Income of cooperative society is taxable after general deduction of rupees 50000. the tax rate for cooperative society is upto rupees 10000 @ 10%. above 10000 and up to 20000 @ 20%. above 20000 @ 30%. for further detail of taxability of cooperative society you should refer section 80p e of Income tax. if it is difficult for you to file the return of cooperative society ,you can contact me at email address
