A.O.allows deduction of proportionate cost, administrative and other expenses, if A.O. proposes to assess interest income earned from bank deposits.


Quick Summary
This ruling clarifies that if an Assessing Officer (AO) proposes to tax interest income earned by a cooperative society from bank deposits, they must also allow a deduction for proportionate administrative and other expenses. The case involved a cooperative bank claiming deductions under Section 80P, but the AO disallowed them based on lending to 'non-members'. The Tribunal's decision focuses on the principle of allowing related expenses when income is brought to tax.
