Issue notice.

Mr. Judy James, Advocate accepts notice on behalf of the Revenue.
.
Learned counsel for the appellant submits that in the present case
the assessee was only providing credit to the members as a thrift and
credit society. Surplus/unutilised amount was deposited in bank to earn
interest and interest earned is, therefore, income from business. He
submits that the case is not covered by the decision of the Supreme Court
in Totgars Co-operative Sale Society Limited versus Income Tax Officer,
(2010) 322 ITR 283 (SC) as in the said case in paragraph 10 the Supreme
Court has recorded a finding that the assessee therein was marketing
produce of the members whose sale proceeds at times were retained by them
and they were concerned with tax treatment of such amount.
