The ITAT held that interest earned by a co-operative credit society on bank deposits qualifies as business income. Such income is eligible for deduction under Section 80P(2)(a)(i).

The Tribunal held that interest income arising from working capital used in regular activities retains its character as business income. Section 80P relief cannot be denied merely because income arises as bank interest.
