ITO vs. Hemandas J. Pariyani The issue is whether the amount received by the society and its member on account of transferable development rights is taxable under capital gains. The issue in dispute is covered by the decision of the ITAT in the case of Jethalal v DCIT wherein it was held that transferable development rights granted by the Development Control Regulations for Greater Mumbai, 1991, qualifying for equivalent floor space index having no cost of acquisition, sale thereof does not give rise to taxable capital gains. Since the facts of the case under consideration is identical to that of the decision of the ITAT in the said case, the CIT(A) was justified in directing the AO not to charge capital gains tax on the compensation received by the assessee even on a protective basis. Amount received by the society and its member on account of transferable development rights is not taxable under capital gains.
S. 194C defines work to include carriage of goods and passengers by any mode of transport other than railways while s. 194-I defines rent to mean payment for use of plan (which is defined in s. 43 to include vehicles). As the cars were owned and maintained by the contractor and all expenditure was borne by the contractor, the contract was for carriage of passengers for which the assessee paid a fixed amount. Therefore, the payment of vehicle hire charges fell within the scope of s. 194C and was not rent for s. 194-I.

CIT v Steinle Machine Fabric India – The Circular is specific that in group cases also, each single case must be taken up individually to decide the monetary limits. It appears that these instructions were issued to avoid unnecessary litigation and also litigation where the tax effect was much less and it waste time and money recovering small amounts but we hasten to add that dismissal of such appeals on the ground that the tax effect is low does not mean that we have given any decision on merits nor have we decided such questions of law. These questions can be decided in appropriate proceedings where the tax effect is more than the limit prescribed in the circular.
