It is not in dispute that M/s Annamalaiar Textiles (P) Ltd. did not pay any amount to the shareholders who ultimately got the shares transferred in their names. The respondent was holding 100 per cent shares of M/s Annamalaiar Textiles (P) Ltd., before it was transferred to Group B. No payment was made to the shareholders belonging to Group B and, therefore, the question of there being any capital gains at the hands of the respondent herein does not arise.
This appeal has been filed by the assessee against the order of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals)-32 [hereinafter called CIT(A)]02-0-2015 passed against the assessment order of the AO u/s 143(3) dated 23-12-2013 for A.Y. 201-12 on the following grounds
Section 2(42A) – Reduction in holding period in case of immovable property, being land or building or both, to qualify as long term capital asset – Consequential amendments to be made in sections 54, 54B, 54D and 54F
In view of the fact that the Revenue has been consistently taking a view that the income earned on investments is taxable under the head capital gains no difference in facts and /or in law has been pointed out to take a different view for the subject Assessment Year
ITAT held that holding period should be computed from the date of issue of allotment If we do so, the holding period becomes more than 36 months and consequently, the property sold by the assessee would be long term capital asset in the hands of the assessee and the gain on sale of the same would be taxable in the hands of the assessee as Long Term Capital Gain
ITAT held that when purchase and sale of shares were supported by proper contract notes , deliveries of shares were received through demat accounts maintained with various agencies, the shares were purchased and sold through recognized broker and the sale considerations were received by account payee cheques, the transactions cannot be treated as bogus and the income so disclosed was assessable as LTCG.
From the proviso, it is evident that where the tax payable in respect of the transfer of a long term capital asset in the case of a listed company exceeds 10% of the amount of the capital gain before giving effect to the provisions of second proviso to Section 48, then such excess shall be ignored for the purpose of computing the tax payable by the assessee.
Where no possession had been given by the transferor to the transferee of the entire land in part performance of JDA so as to fall within the domain of section 53A and in absence of registration of JDA, although executed afterwards, the agreement did not fall under section 53A and consequently section 2(47)(v) did not apply and no further amount had been received and no action thereon had been taken, therefore, appeal of Revenue was dismissed.
Appellant has adduced documentary evidences in support of transaction in question. Identity of purchasers of shares was established as it was borne on record of Income Tax Department.
