Section 50C of the Income-tax Act, 1961 is a special provision which comes into picture whenever a capital asset being land or building is transferred/ sold. It is a deeming provision which provides for substitution of actual sale consideration for value adopted/ assessed/ assessable as per Stamp Valuation Authority (‘SVA’) if, the former is less than the latter.
Applicability of Section 50C and Section 56(2)(x) / Section 56(2)(vii) of Income Tax Act, 1961 on Rural agricultural land Computation of Capital Gain is many times not free from ambiguity. Further, due care is required in cases of transactions of immovable property for a consideration, which is less than the stamp duty value of such […]
Word assessable has been inserted in section 50C w.e.f. 01/10/2009. Thus, prior to 01/10/2009, the section 50C was applicable over the sale of properties, which were sold by of the registered deed where the stamp value was assessed by the registration authorities and the section 50C was not applicable,
SECTION 50C – SPECIAL PROVISION FOR FULL VALUE OF CONSIDERATION IN CERTAIN CASES Applicability of Section 50C As per Sec 50C, where the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of land and/or building is less than the value adopted or assessed or assessable by an authority of the state govt. for […]

According to section 50 of Income tax act if an assessee has sold a capital asset forming part of block of assets (building, machinery etc) on which the depreciation has been allowed under Income Tax Act, the income arising from such capital asset is treated as short term capital gain.
It is pertinent to note that the Assessing Officer admitted the claim of the assessee for exemption u/s 54F(1)(b) in respect of investment on long term capital gain but instead of taking actual sale consideration received, has adopted the figure of sale consideration by invoking Section 50C. This is not in accordance with the provision of Section 50C which has created a deeming fiction. Section 54F is an exemption provision and it has given its applicability in itself, therefore, Section 50C will not come under picture.
It is evident that the benefit of first proviso would be allowed only if the condition as stipulated in second proviso is satisfied. In other words, the stamp value on the date of agreement to sell shall be considered as full value of consideration only if the amount of consideration or part of such consideration was received by the assessee through banking channel on or before the date of agreement for transfer. This issue, therefore, needs detailed factual verification.
