Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the taxability of dividends received by an individual from a co-operative society. While Section 80P applies to the society itself, dividends received by an individual are generally taxable as 'Income from Other Sources' under Section 56(2)(i) of the Income Tax Act, provided the amount exceeds a certain threshold, believed to be £100,000.

Its exempted in the hands of the assesse
Under which section?
It is exempted under section 80p of income tax act
80P is for Co-operative Society not for an individual assessee.
Yeah okay. it is taxable in the hands of individual assessee if the amount exceeds 100000. Irrespective of whether the amount is received from any entity..
Well, It's taxable as Income from Other Source u/s 56(2)(i), I think.
But definitely remember the limit of 100000. within that limit it's not taxable I suppose so as per the relevant provisions of dividend chapter
