TDR is a capital asset as inextricably linked with immovable property

December 4, 2019 8184 Views 0 comment Print

TDR is a capital asset, because it is inextricably linked with immovable property and also flows from transfer of immovable property. When, TDR is considered to be an immovable property/assets within the meaning of section 2(14) of the I.T.Act, then any right in such TDR is also needs to be considered as a asset within the meaning of section 2(14) of the I.T.Act, 1961. Therefore, we are of the considered view that the Ld. CIT(A) was erred in considering surplus from transfer of TDR under the head speculative business profits.

November 30, 2019 11790 Views 0 comment Print

No enquiries were conducted by the AO/learned CIT(A) even during appellate/remand proceedings . The books of accounts were not rejected by authorities below nor any defect is pointed out by the AO/learned CIT(A) in the books of accounts maintained by the assessee.
