In case of a co-operative society, interest earned may be taxable or may not be. When interest is received from any other co-operative society, it is not taxable. . Surplus is what the society has saved after meeting all its expenses and provisionings. .

No. Co-Operative Banks are not treated as co-operative society for the purpose of Section 80P. Section 80P(4) states that provision of Section 80P are not applicable to the co-operative banks.

Thanks. But what about section 80(P)(2)(d). if a coop credit soc. parks its surplus funds in a coop bank will the interest earned thereof be deductible.
