Ashok G. Chauhan Vs Asst. CIT (ITAT Mumbai) In the present case, admittedly the flat at Goa was not fully and wholly owned by the assessee as the same was initially owned co-jointly in the name of assessee and his wife. Admittedly, it is nobody’s case that wife was benami of the assessee. Therefore, the […]
If that is the case, the deduction claimed by the assessee should have been allowed under the correct provision. Merely because the assessee has claimed deduction under section 54F of the Act, by treating the flat as a commercial property, assessee’s claim of deduction under section 54 of the Act cannot be disallowed if the assessee fulfills the conditions of section 54 of the Act.
Venkata Dilip Kumar,Kartha-HUF Vs CIT (Madras High Court) No doubt, Section 54 (2) contemplates that if the amount of the capital gain is not appropriated by the assessee towards purchase of new assets within one year before the date on which the transfer of original asset took place or which is not utilised by him […]
whether AO is correct in holding that the assessee was not entitled exemption u/s.54 of the Act by rejecting the claim of the assessee to have deposited in capital gain deposit account?
The issue under consideration is whether the exemption u/s 54 will be allowed if the reinvestment is made in residential property outside India?
Accordingly when there was sufficient time with the assessee to complete the construction then the claim of the assessee that the house was constructed within a short period cannot be a reason for denial of the claim under section 54 of the Act.
Once it is demonstrated that the consideration received on transfer has been invested either in purchasing a residential house or in construction of a residential house even though the transactions are not complete in all respects and as required under the law, that would not disentitle the assessee from the benefit under Section 54F.
ITO Vs Shri Kantilal G. Kotecha (ITAT Mumbai) We find that with regard to claim of deduction u/s 54 of the Act, this tribunal in quantum proceedings had granted deduction u/s 54 of the Act to the extent of payments made within the prescribed limitation period i.e payments made within one year prior to the […]
Sh. Vijay Chaudhary Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) Whether the assessee invests the entire sales consideration in construction of a residential house within three years from the date of transfer can he be denied exemption under Section 54F on the ground that he did not deposit the said amount in capital gains account scheme before the […]
Since the booking of bare shell of a flat was a construction of house property and not purchase, therefore, the date of completion of construction was to be looked into which was as per provision of section 54, therefore, AO was directed to allow benefit to assessee as claimed u/s.54.
