Service charges (assessee’s appeal) (i) whether the services rendered benefited group companies. (ii) whether the expenses were incurred to take care of the TCCC brand image. (iii) whether rendering services to the bottlers could be a ground for making disallowance.
8. As seen in section 80P(2)(b), the deduction in respect of income of co-operative societies has been dealt in under different parts.
