Heard Learned Counsel on both sides.

(b) Whether the High Court was justified in affirming the decision of the Tribunal that the income earned by the Assessee which was derived from underwriting the issue of bonds and investments in PSEB Bonds was in the nature of income from banking business and hence qualified for deduction u/s 80P(2)(a)(i) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 ?
