Computation of indexed cost of acquisition by the AO, taking the cost of acquisition at the cost price of 15.04.1976 without considering the provisions of section 55(2) clause (b) and taking the base cost inflation index at 406 is bad in law and we direct that Rs. 8,30,000/- must be taken as the cost of acquisition instead of Rs.1,122/-..

February 25, 2020 1728 Views 0 comment Print

It was an admitted fact that assessee filed reply in response to notice under section 148 on 26-11-2013 and AO on the very same day served notice under section 143(2) upon assessee, whose signatures tally on the said notice without confronting the assessee with the remand report and the evidence produced by the AO before the Ld.
