05 October 2015 It is not clear the activity carried out by the society. Income from gains of business and profession is exempt if the activity falls under any of the clauses of 80P(2)(a).
The income earned in saving account in State Bank of India is not exempt. However, if you keep you saving account in some co-operative bank, the interest income shall be exempt under Section 80P(2)(d).
