Assessee LLP had failed to satisfy clause (e) of the proviso of Sec. 47(xiiib), therefore, the ‘transfer‘of the capital assets on the conversion of the private limited company into a LLP was to be regarded as a ‘transfer‘within the meaning of Sec. 45 and also, there was no occasion for invoking the provisions of Sec. 47A(4).
Addition made by AO on the reason that assessee had introduced his own unaccounted money by way of bogus long term capital gain was not correct as AO had not brought any material on record to show that assessee had paid over and above purchase consideration of shares as claimed and evident from the bank account and assessee had produced the relevant record to show the allotment of shares by the company on payment of consideration by cheque.

Conclusion: Claim of assessee for long term capital gains arising on transfer of shares u/s.10(38) was real or sham, required a revisit by AO by considering all the evidences produced by assessee and also, AO should allow the opportunity of cross-examination to check the nature of transaction.
Since assessee along with his mother and siblings entered into a JDA with M/s. S, which was a registered document, therefore, on entering into JDA, there was a ‘transfer’ as per section 2(47) and consequently capital gain was attracted.
