Profit on transfer of a capital asset is chargeable under the head Capital Gains. Section 45 makes the gains arising out of the transfer of a capital asset chargeable to tax under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

Whether AO is correct in rejecting the claim of assessee regarding the deduction u/s 54F, which was made first time during Reassessment Proceedings?
The contention of the assessee is that since final consideration was paid and the possession of flat was received within a period of one year prior to the date of transfer of capital asset, the same should be considered as the date of purchase. Whereas, the stand of Department is that the date of execution of agreement for purchase of flat should be considered as the date of purchase.

Section 54, 54EC & 54F talks about the capital gain arising on transfer of long-term capital assets and one may note that depreciable assets if hold for a period of more than 36 months becomes a long-term capital assets. Section 54/54EC/54F are an independent sections & don’t make any distinction between Depreciable assets vis a vis Non Depreciable Assets.
Since S.54F of the Act is a beneficial provision and the Hon’ble Courts have held that the beneficial provision should be construed liberally, I deem it fit and proper to admit assessee’s claim of deduction u/s 54F of the Act and remand the issue to the file of the AO with a direction to consider the eligibility of the assessee for deduction u/s 54F of the Act and allow the same if the assessee satisfies the conditions.
There is always a doubt and confusion in the industry among professionals as well as tax payers regarding availment of exemption under section 54 and 54F against capital gains.
