Section 50 of the Income-tax Act, 1961 – Capital gains – Computation of, in case of depreciable assets – Assessment year 1994-95 – Whether for purpose of section 50(2), where 100 per cent depreciation had been allowed on assets, whole of amount received by assessee on sale of those depreciated assets is required to be treated as capital gain arising from transfer of short-term capital assets – Held, yes
Payment paid by company to ESI department for delay in payments was nothing but compensation and was compensatory in nature. Thus, the impugned amount was to be allowed u/s 37(1).
Briefly stated the assessee is a Partner in the firm M/s Balachandra Laboratories. The firm had property at Thane on which development rights were transferred to M/s Friends Development Corporation (FDC) for an amount of Rs.17.00 crores. The said firm paid one third of consideration to legal heirs and Ms Balachandra laboratories claimed deduction in their assessment. The assessee happens to be one of the legal heirs of Late Shri C N Bhatavadekar. In the course of inquiry and assessment proceedings the issue relating to taxing of capital gains in the hands of the firm resulted in allowing the claim made to M/s Videocon Properties Ltd at Rs.95.00 lakhs paid to avoid civil litigation consequent to the compromise reached before the Bombay High Court. However, an amount of Rs.5.29 crores i.e. 1/3 rd of the total amount paid to legal heirs of Shri C N Bhatavadekar (who had 33% share in the property) was not allowed on the reason that it was an appropriation of the firm’s income. There were other issues with reference to the cost of acquisition etc., in the firm’s case which are not relevant for the issue in the present appeal.
Vide a penalty order u/s 271(1)(c) dated 27-03-2009, it was held that the assessee has concealed the income of Rs.8,16,617/- which was taxed on account of estimation of profit. The First Appellate Authority has expressed that since the addition was in respect of Gross Profit and work-inprogress was based upon certain estimation, therefore, it was not a case of concealment, hence, deleted the penalty following the judgment of Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court in the case of CIT v. J.H. Parabia (Transport) P. Ltd. (2006) 284 ITR 361 (Guj).

The assessee claimed that the agricultural income of the members of his family was around Rs.8 lacs per annum .But the AO found that only an amount of Rs. 3,37,152/-was reflected in the financial year 2005- 06 and Rs. 3,50,454/- in the Financial Year 2006- 07 and no basis or evidence was produced in support of agricultural income of Rs. 8 lacs. In these circumstances ,especially when admittedly no evidence was filed by the assessee to establish nexus between sale of agricultural produce and introduction of cash in capital account, the ld. CIT(A) upheld the findings of the AO. The situation remains the same even before us. The ld. AR did not refer us to any material, evidencing sale of agricultural produce . In the absence of any basis, we are not inclined to interfere.
