Hon’ble Delhi HC has held in the case of ‘Bharti Gupta Ramola Vs. CIT’ that For computing holding period of asset both date on which asset is acquired & date on which said asset is sold or transferred are not to be excluded.
The difference arises on two counts. Firstly, the date from which the period of six months is to be reckoned. While the assessee contends it to be as 10.03.2008, i.e., the date of receipt of the consideration for transfer (of the long term capital asset)
Whether for the purpose of Section 54EC of IT Act, 1961, the period of investment of six months should be reckoned after the date of transfer or from the end of the month in which transfer of capital asset took place?
Sec.50 is only to deal capital gain as short term capital gain and not to deem the asset as short term capital asset. Therefore, it cannot be said that Sec. 50 converts long term capital asset into a short term capital asset
Assessee can claim exemption under section 54EC on transfer of depreciable assets held for more than thirty-six months by investing in bonds notified for the purpose of Section 54EC. Further the assessee can claim exemption upto Rs. 1,00,00,000/- by investing the gain in the bonds notified under section 54EC if he invests Rs. 50,00,000/- each in two separate financial years but within six months from the date of transfer.
Facts in brief as emerged from the corresponding assessment order passed u/s. 143(3), dated 1.12.2009 were that the assessee is a trust and during the year disclosed a capital gain of Rs.87,29,080/-. It was informed that the assessee had invested a sum of Rs. 1,12,00,000/- in Rural
Capital gain arising of long term capital asset, if invested in specified asset, the assessee is not to be charged capital gains and exemption provided under Section 54EC of the Act cannot be denied to the assessee only on account of the fact that deeming fiction is created under Section 50 of the Act.
Issue- Whether while computing the capital gain, exemption available under the head Capital Gain should be given effect and then only the provisions for set off and carry forward of losses should be applied under the Act?
The dispute is regarding allowability of exemption under section 54 of the Act and computation of long term capital gain in respect of exchange of old flat with a new flat and cash compensation under development agreement with the builder.
Where a return of income could not be filed by the assessee due to unavoidable circumstances, and assessee proved to have a bona fide belief , coupled with the voluntary payment of tax liability, the Chief Commissioner was not justified in declining the benefit of a waiver of interest to assessee under section 234B.
