ITAT Indore held that Section 54 exemption cannot be denied merely for failure to deposit capital gains in the Capital Gain Deposit Scheme. The Tribunal ruled that actual investment in a new residential house within the prescribed two-year period satisfies the substantive requirement.
The Tribunal ruled that delayed filing or incorrect disclosure in Form 67 does not automatically disentitle an assessee from claiming Foreign Tax Credit. Substantial justice must prevail over technical procedural defects.
The Tribunal upheld tax addition where agricultural land was acquired below stamp duty valuation and DVO-determined fair market value. It ruled that agricultural status of land does not exclude applicability of section 56(2)(x).
The ITAT Surat held that abnormal price rise in a penny stock and surrounding circumstances justified treating claimed LTCG as unexplained income under Section 68. The Tribunal found the transactions to be part of a pre-arranged accommodation entry scheme.
The article explains how Section 45(5A) shifted the capital gains trigger for landowners from JDA execution to issuance of the completion certificate. It also examines the impact of RERA-regulated project timelines.
ITAT Bangalore held that Section 45(5A) applies prospectively and cannot govern JDAs executed before 01.04.2018. Capital gains from older development agreements must be taxed under the law applicable in the year of transfer.
The new law treats gains from depreciable assets as short-term capital gains for all purposes, not merely for computation. This effectively removes exemption benefits previously allowed through judicial interpretation under the old regime.
The Tribunal held that for under-construction properties, the date of possession is the relevant factor for Section 54 exemption. It rejected the reliance on registration date alone. The ruling clarifies timing criteria for capital gains exemption.
The Tribunal held that prior to the 2023 amendment, returns filed within the broader time under Section 139 were eligible for exemption. It ruled that updated returns could not be denied benefits retrospectively.
The tribunal held that selling only open land, even if earlier part of a residential property, does not qualify as transfer of a residential house. Since no building was sold, exemption under Section 54 was rightly denied.
