This appeal is filed by the assessee against the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) -20, Mumbai dated 17.04.2014 for the Assessment Year 2010-11. The only grievance of the assessee in his appeal is that the Ld.CIT(A) erred in denying the deduction u/s 54 of the Act.
Under the head Capital gains only direct expenses relatable to transfer of property are allowed as deduction. Therefore, the cancellation expenses should not be held to be incurred either for acquiring the property or for transfer of property
Merely because construction of new house was started prior to transfer of original asset, deduction under section 54F cannot be denied, if the construction was completed within three years of transfer.
Where assessee filed return within extended period of section 139(4) and delay was caused by reason beyond the control of assessee, liberal interpretation was to be given to procedural requirement of section 80AC and denial of deduction under section 80-IC was not, therefore, justified.
Assessee was entitled to deduction u/s 54F of the Act in respect of more than one residential flats received by virtue of a development agreement. We find that this issue is now fairly covered by the decision of various High Courts in favour of the assessee.
If the AO has not rejected the books of accounts and has only doubted the genuineness of the suppliers but not the genuineness of the purchases and if the payments are made by account payee cheques, s. 69C is not attracted. S. 69C cannot be applied where all purchase and sales transactions are part of regular books of accounts. The basic precondition for invoking s. 69C is that the expenditure incurred by the assessee should be out of books of accounts
On the facts and circumstances of the case the Assessing Officer has erred in computing long term capital gain at Rs. 99,57,265/-. 2. That the Commissioner (Appeals) is wrong in not granting exemption under section 54 and 54F of the Income Tax Act on the amount invested for the purchase of residential plot and deposits made under capital gain in the Bank.
Provision of section 50C(1) of the Act are not applicable to section 54F for the purpose of determining the meaning of full value of consideration.
The only limitation prescribed by section 54 is that construction of new house ought to have been completed within a period of three years and said section does not prescribe any condition vis-a-vis the commencement of construction, therefore, assessee was entitled to deduction under section 54 even in respect of amount invested prior to the date of transfer of original asset.
Assessee is a partnership firm stated to be engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling of tobacco products. Assessee electronically filed its return of income for assessment year 2007-08 on 31-10-2007 declaring total income of Rs. 15,20,628.
