This is an appeal filed by the assessee against the order of ld. CIT(A), Kota dated 18/10/2018 for the A.Y. 2015-16 wherein following grounds have been raised. “1. On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, ld. CIT(A) has grossly erred in upholding the action of ld. A.O. in not allowing deduction u/s 80P(2)(a)(vi) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 arbitrarily. Appellant prays deduction has been rightly claimed by assessee and thus deserves to be allowed as claimed. 2. On the facts and in the circumstances of the case and in law, ld. CIT(A) has grossly erred in confirming addition to the tune of Rs. 1,95,963/- out of addition made by ld. AO arbitrarily. Appellant prays that it is eligible for deduction u/s 80P(2)(a)(vi) and ITA No. 1522/JP/2018 M/s Jai Hind Sainik Bahudeshiya Sahmari Samiti Ltd. Vs ITO 2 therefore, addition to the tune of Rs. 1,95,963/- deserves to be deleted. 3. That the appellant craves the right to add, delete, amend or abandon any of the grounds of appeal either before or at the time of hearing of appeal.” 2. At the outset, the ld. DR pointed out that the A.O. has given a finding that the society is dormant. Further the ld. DR has submitted that the paper book is not supplied to the department. 3. The ld. Counsel for the assessee submitted that the finding of the authorities below is incorrect as the assessee is in active state. The ld. Counsel further submitted that the authorities below have misdirected themselves and did not consider the facts in right perspective. 4. I have considered the rival contentions and perused the material available on record. The grievance of the assessee is that the A.O. erroneously treated the assessee as Association of Person despite the fact that the assessee is registered as a cooperative society. Further, it is stated that the A.O. has not considered the provisions of law and merely applied 8% as net profit for the purpose of computation of income of the assessee. The reliance is made by the ld. Counsel for the assessee in the cases of Sai Baba Veddera Labour Contract Society Vs ITO in appeal No. 797/Hyd/2017 and Nasik District Labour Societies Vs ITO 18 ITD 354 Pune. The ld. DR submitted that the Revenue would have no objection if the matter is restored to the A.O. to decide afresh after verifying the records and examining the law. I, therefore, under the facts and circumstances of the present case, set aside the impugned order and restore the assessment to the file of the A.O. to verify the status of the assessee whether the assessee is a cooperative society duly registered with the ITA No. 1522/JP/2018 M/s Jai Hind Sainik Bahudeshiya Sahmari Samiti Ltd. Vs ITO 3 Registrar of Societies and decide the question of availability of deduction U/s 80P(2)(a)(vi) of the Act in the light of the case laws as relied by the assessee. 5. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed for statistical purposes only. Order pronounced in the open Court on 23/12/2021.
