Reference to DVO for determination of market value for the purpose of computation of capital gains under section 48 would be wholly redundant since main thrust of section 48 is the full value of consideration received or accruing as a result of transfer of capital asset and not the fair market value thereof.
Full value of consideration mentioned in section 48 of the Act may be replaced by the value assessed or adopted by the stamp value authorities or fair market value only if section 50C of the Act applies in this case and which depends on the fact whether the sale transaction was registered by the stamp […]
This appeal filed by the Revenue is directed against the order of the ld. CIT(A), Bikaner dated 20.05.2016 pertaining to A.Y. 2012-13.
Undoubtedly, prior to the amendment made by Finance (Nos.2) Act, 2014 w.e.f. 01/04/2015, the language of section 54 of the Act required the assessee to invest the capital gain in a residential property.
Section 50C is a measure provided to bridge the gap as it was found that the assessee were not correctly declaring the full value of consideration or in other words resorting to the practice of under valuation. Further, the decision of Special Bench in the case of ITO vs. United Marines Academy (supra) has made it clear that section 50C will be applicable on the sale value of depreciable asset.
The Government of India Ministry of Finance Department of Revenue vide Circular No. 6 of 2016 of the Central Board of Direct Taxes 29th February, 2016 referring to the earlier circular No. 4 of 2009 dated 15th June, 2007 has laid down that in order to reduce litigation, the sale of listed shares would be treated as capital gain if they are held by the assessee for a period of more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of these transfers.
Central Board of Direct Taxes (‘CBDT’) has released draft rules relating to valuation methodology of unquoted equity share. The draft rules are in furtherance to the new sections as introduced by Finance Act, 2017 i.e. section 50CA and 56(2)(x). These sections are introduced to ensure that the sale consideration for transfer of unquoted equity shares are not understated.
