Chennithala Thriperumthura Service Co-Operative Bank Ltd. v. ITO (2026) 348 CTR 595 (Ker.)(HC)

S. 80P : Co-operative societies-Return of income-Chapter VI-A-Deduction under section 80P cannot be allowed in the absence of a return of income. [S. 80P(2), 80A(5), 139,142(1), 260A]

The assessee claimed deduction under section 80P(2) despite not having filed a return of income even after issuance of notice under section 142(1). The High Court held that section 80A(5) makes filing of a return containing the claim for deduction under Chapter VI-A a mandatory condition. Since no return was filed, the assessee was not entitled to deduction under section 80P(2). (AY. 2017-18)
