Subash Chand Vs. ACIT (ITAT Chandigarh)- In the present case, the AO has found that the assessee has paid a sum of Rs. 27,90,000/- towards purchase of flat/plot and for meeting household expenses in the year under appeal. The assessee could not have paid the aforesaid amount without having the money with him. No material has been placed before us to establish that the assessee had actually been paid by the buyer any money over and above Rs. 8.00 lakhs or that the assessee has actually received from the buyer of the agricultural land over and above Rs. 8 lakhs.

In case the AO finds that practically the land has been bought by the Developer and Developer has all dominant control over the project and has developed the land at his own cost and risks, the AO should allow the deduction to the assessee u/s 80IB(10)

M/s. Rudraksh Developers Vs. ITO (ITAT Ahemdabad)- The facts involved in the case of the assessee are similar to the facts in the case of Radhe Developers (supra) and accordingly we are of the view that the assessee has acquired the dominant over the land and has developed the housing project by incurring all the expenses and taking all the risks involved therein. We may mention here that, in our opinion, the decision in the case of Radhe Developers (supra) will not apply in a case where the assessee has entered into the agreement for a fixed remuneration merely as a contractor to construct or develop the housing project on behalf of the landowner.

The assessee does not have a PE in India.
