Facts Summary

The case involves two appeals by The Trivandrum Employees Co-operative Society Ltd. against orders of the National Faceless Appeal Centre, Delhi. The appellant challenges the assessment orders for the years 2017-18 and 2018-19, raising issues related to the denial of deductions under Section 80P of the Income Tax Act, the addition of unexplained income under Section 68, and the applicability of Section 115BBE. The appellant argues that the interest income from cooperative banks should be eligible for deduction under Section 80P(2)(d) and that the substantial increase in fixed deposits should not be treated as unexplained income without proper explanation. The respondent maintains that the appellant failed to provide adequate information to substantiate the source of the deposits.
