Smt. Vatsala Asthana Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) Regarding the payment made by the assessee before 31/03/2014, Hon7ble High Court of Rajasthan in the case of Shankar Lal Saini (supra) held that, where assessee, an individual deposited unutilized sale consideration in capital gains scheme within the due date of filing of belated tax return under section […]
Unutilized capital gain amount under Section 54 F[4] had to be charged under Section 45 as income of the previous year, after the expiry of three years from the date of sale of the capital asset as per proviso appended to Section 54F[4] and withdrawal of amount was permitted subject to deduction of tax.
Though assessee had not become owner of property in question because there was no registered sale deed executed by vendor, however, becoming the owner of the property in question was not required for the purpose of section 54/54F and, therefore, no deduction could be denied to assessee.
Once an agreement to sell is executed in favour of some person, the said person gets a right to get the property transferred in his favour and, consequently, some right of the vendor is extinguished. Therefore, the agreement to sell which had been executed on 13th August 2010 was considered as the date on which the property, i.e. the agricultural land, had been transferred instead of 3rd July 2012 on which the sale-deed came to be executed and assessee was entitled to claim the benefit of section 54F as it had invested in purchase of residential house on 22nd April 2010 which was within the prescribed time limit.
Mrs. A. Vijayakumari Vs ITO (ITAT Chennai) The provisions of section 54 of the Act are beneficial and are to be considered liberally for reasonable bonafide cause but investment in residential property is mandatory which is not in dispute in this case. The Assessing Officer was not justified in rejecting the case law relied on […]
The issue under consideration is that whether the assessee having business of land trading can show capital gains from arising out of transfer of land and claim exemption u/s 54F?
Assessee was entitled to exemption under section 54 on long term capital gain on sale of properties as the holding period of the asset should be considered from the date of acquisition of asset in the light of agreement to sale, but not from the date of possession of the property.
Shri Ram Narayan Vs ITO (ITAT Jaipur) Conclusion: Since assessee purchased land through an agreement to sale which was unregistered and the payment was made in cash, therefore, in absence of sale deed, the unregistered agreement would not transfer any title to assessee of the agricultural land, accordingly, the claim of deduction under section 54B […]
Smt. Yoga Sikka Vs ITO (ITAT Delhi) There is no dispute that the assessee has invested the full sale consideration received on the sale of jewellery in the purchase of the plot of land. It is also not in dispute that before the lower authorities the assessee could not adduce any evidence. The certificate from […]
From ‘date of allotment’ of capital asset, i.e., 15-2-2007 the holding period was more than 36 months on sale of property on 4-8-2010 as such, revenue authorities were not justified in treating the holding period from date of registration of property, i.e., 30-9-2009 and treating it as short-term capital gains, deduction under section 54F was, therefore, allowable.
