The term ‘slump sale’ has been defined to mean a transfer of a business undertaking or a business for a lumpsum consideration with all its assets and liabilities, without values being assigned to individual assets/liabilities.

For application of Sec.50C that the transfer must be of a capital asset, being land or building or both.

Booking advance cannot be equated with the capital asset and therefore section 50C cannot be invoked.

These appeals were originally posted for hearing on 09.11.2011 (vide AD card) and at the request of the assessee it was adjourned from time to time and finally posted for hearing on 04.04.2012 on which date none appeared on behalf of the assessee.
