There had been waves of changes since beginning of calendar year 2016 in Rules followed by Finance Act, 2016 and now further reinforced by the Finance Act, 2017. In fact, every business person is trying to adjust to the new law in Direct Taxes at the earliest, without loss of time, so as to be in GST-ready mode wef 01/07/2017, as per the present roadmap .
The draft of the notification to be issued under third proviso to section 10(38) is, in principle, a step in the right direction. We would like to suggest a few changes to the same in order to bring greater clarity and prevent unnecessary and unintended harassment to genuine investors.
The memorandum to Finance Bill, 2017, explained that the exemption on long-term capital gains tax, provided in section 10(38) of ITA was misutilised to declare unaccounted income . CBDT has issued a draft notification on 3 April , 2017 and provided that the amendment would not apply to any transactions except mentioned in the Notification. Analysis of the Notification and possible implications are discussed.
Government has introduced new section 269ST limiting cash transactions above Rs. 2 lakhs. There are no exceptions to this. Even gift received in cash form close relatives above Rs. 2 lakhs come under the ambit of this section. At present there are also certain other provisions which have either a cap or a complete ban on cash transactions.
Lok Sabha Speaker congratulates the Prime Minister, Union Finance Minister, Members of Union Cabinet, Members of Lok Sabha and Officers and Staff of Lok Sabha Secretariat, Ministry of Finance & Parliamentary Affairs for completing all the Budget related processes before 1st April;
Section 269SST includes within its sweep all types of cash receipts from any person of whatever nature whether as donations or gifts or compensation, encashment of securities/instruments etc. A penalty equal to the amount of such receipt shall be imposed u/s 271D.
It has also been decided that the restriction on cash transaction under section 269ST shall not apply to withdrawal of cash from a bank, cooperative bank or a post office savings bank.

H’ble Courts have ruled that granting possession vide execution of agreement is part performance of contract which confers developer with the right over the property & therefore tantamount to transfer u/s 2(47) of Act
