ACIT Vs. Sh. Vineet Kumar Kapila (ITAT Delhi) ITAT held that booking of flat with the builder has to be treated as construction of flat by the assessee and hence period of three years would apply for construction of new house from the date of transfer of long term capital asset. Therefore, the Ld. CIT(A) has […]
Section 54F do not prescribe any condition as to the date of commencement of construction of new house property, meaning thereby that the construction of house property may be commenced even before the date of transfer of original asset.
Assessee-wife was not entitled to claim and be allowed exemption under Section 54 and 54 EC on the basis that both assessee’s being husband and wife had suo motu offered rental income equally in their returns of income and their intentions were that said property was a joint property and both of them having equal share therein because as per the recitals in the purchase and registered sale deeds of the aforesaid property, assessee-husband alone was the sole legal owner of the said property to the exclusion of all others, including his wife.
Assessee has invested more than the sale proceeds of the industrial gala for purchase of two flats. Respectfully following the decision of Karnataka High Court,we do not find any merit for decline of assessee’s claim of deduction u/s.54 for investment in two flats out of sale proceeds of long term capital gains within the stipulated period provided in the Act.
It could not have been open to the authorities below to treat the payment of Rs 18,00,000 on account of furniture and fixtures on standalone basis, and thus exclude it as a separate item rather than as a cost of the residential house so purchased. In our considered view, therefore, the assessee is entitled to deduction under section 54F by treating entire amount of Rs 78,00000 as the “cost of the residential house” purchased within specified time limit under section 54.
This appeal of the revenue is directed against the order of the Commissioner (Appeals)-9, Chennai, dated 30-5-2017 and pertains to assessment year 2013-14.
Dr. Sudhir Naik (HUF) Vs. ITO (ITAT Hyderabad) Another contention is about claim of 54F/54. It was the contention that assessee has sold all the flats allotted to him and therefore, at the time of investing in the new house, he has no other house except this house. As seen from the agreements and the […]
Under Section 54 of the Income-tax Act, if an assessee who has earned a Capital Gain on sale of a residential house, has, within the prescribed period, purchased or constructed another residential house, then, to the extent of the cost of the new residential house, no tax in respect of such Capital Gain is payable.
Section 54(1) has been amended by the Finance (No.2) Act, 2014 by substituting constructed, a residential house, with constructed, one residential house in India. Similar amendment is made in section 54F(1).
At present deductions u/s 54, 54F, 54EC etc. are not subject to any audit or certification. The possibility that the assessee claims inaccurate amount of deduction under such provisions cannot be ruled out.
