The words mentioned in section 54F are that the amount should be invested in the construction of a residential house. Therefore, once the assessee having been invested total sale consideration into construction of a residential house, then it is not necessary that the residential house should have been completed within three years of the transfer of the original asset.
The assessee is following Percentage Completion Method. This method is recognised by the Income-tax Act for disclosing the profit in the case of a builder. The purpose of granting deduction u/s. 80IB(10) is to promote housing projects.
In determining whether there has been diversion of income by overriding title, it is the nature of the obligation which is the decisive fact. There is a difference between an amount which a person is obliged to apply out of this income and an amount which by the nature of the obligation cannot be said to be a part of the income of the assessee.
In the instant situation, the revenue is taxing the profit on percentage completion method but suggesting to grant deduction only on completion of the project. If the stand of the revenue is accepted then only on completion of project an assessee would be entitled for deduction under section 80-IB(10), then undisputedly an anomaly shall arise as to how and when the tax should be charged.
In the instant case also, the assessee furnished all the details relating to its claim for deduction u/s 80IB of the Act and the Assessing Officer thoroughly examined the claim while framing the assessment u/s 143(3) and on being satisfied the claim was allowed. Therefore, in the present case, reopening of the assessment by issuing notice u/s 148 of the Act is definitely a change of opinion which is not maintainable and therefore, the re-assessment framed by the Assessing Officer u/s 147 of by issuing notice u/s 148 of the Act after completing the assessment u/s 143(3) of the Act by taking a view which was in consonance with the judgment of the Hon’ble jurisdictional High Court was not valid.
In the instant case, the assessee has made several transactions of purchase of shares during the relevant year. If there high volume, frequency and regularly of the activity carried on by the assessee is in a systematic manner, it would partake the character of business activities carried on by the assessee in shares, and it cannot be said that the assessee has merely made investment in shares.
In the instant case, the GPA holder of the assessee received the notice which is evident from the acknowledgement furnished before us. The assessee was having transactions in India and when the notice was serviced through the process server of the department, the notice is deemed to have been served as it can ordinarily be expected that the process server knew the person on whom the service was effected.
Assessee, submitted that though auction was held of parking lots, but no contract was executed in terms of auction and the contractors did not sign any contract and continued to charge parking charges. Therefore, the provisions of section 206C(1C) would not apply to the case and further for applicability of these provisions, the contract should also be registered.
From the facts of the present case, it is clear that there is no link with expenditure for earning of dividend income incurred by the assessee and once the facts are clear, no disallowance can be made by invoking rule 8D of the Rules. Neither the AO nor CIT(A) has recorded any finding that having regard to the account of the assessee, they are not satisfied with the correctness of the claim of expenditure made by assessee or the claim made by assessee that no expenditure has been incurred in relation to income which do not form part of the total income under the Act for the relevant assessment year. In the absence of any such finding, facts of the present case shows that the investment in shares was made out of own capital employed and not from borrowed funds, no disallowance on account of interest expenditure can be made by invoking rule 8D of the Rules.
Ld.Counsel for the assessee Mr.Sandeep Sadra on the other hand pointed out that the assessee has made a fresh claim before the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) and as all the facts are on record and as the Assessing Officer has himself recorded that the claim is correct, the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) was right in allowing the claim.
