Capital gain on buy-back of shares is taxable under Section 46A of the Act in the hands foreign company – S. 46A, which provides that in the case of a buyback, the difference between the consideration and the cost of acquisition shall be deemed to be capital gains is a special provision and prevails s. 45. S. 47 overrides s. 45 but not s. 46A. There is no reason to enquire whether s. 46A is a charging section or not. The result is that even if the exemption in s. 47(iv) is held applicable, it does not override s. 46A and the applicant is subject to capital gains.
Assessee had disclosed full and true particular relating to claim of depreciation at time of original assessment then assessing officer has no jurisdiction to issue notice under section 148 of the Act, after the period of four year from the end of relevant assessment year.

It is pertinent to note that the term ‘insurer’ has not been used in sec. 10(10D) and as it is clear that as per provisions of sec. 10(10D) any sum received under Life Insurance Policy including the benefit on such policy is eligible for the deduction. Therefore, it is apparent that there was no intention of the legislature to restrict the benefit of exemption/s 10(10D) only on the insurance policy taken from Indian Insurance Company.

We have heard the learned Departmental Representative, whereas assessee was not represented, hence decided exparte.
