Smt. Archana Kanwar Vs ITO (ITAT Chennai) We have heard both the sides, perused the materials available on record and gone through the orders of authorities below. During the previous year relevant to the assessment year 2012-13, the assessee sold a vacant plot at Gurgaon, Haryana for a consideration of ₹.75,00,000/- after reducing the index […]
ITO Vs Smt. Jaya Deepak Bhavnani (ITAT Mumbai) Legal fiction created in Section 50 is to deem capital gain as short term capital gain and not to deem an asset as short term capital asset and therefore it cannot be said that Section 50 converts long term capital asset into short term capital asset and […]

Kaushik D. Mistry Vs ITO (ITAT Mumbai) So far as the question of deduction u/s 54 is concerned, we find that the assessee has not acquired the ownership rights in the new property but merely acquired tenancy right which could not be equated with ownership rights. The conditions of Section 54 as well as Section […]
Section 54F of the Income Tax Act 1. Assessee is an Individual or HUF. 2. Capital Gain arises from the Sale of any capital asset other than Residential House. 3. This asset is called original asset. 4. Assessee has purchased a Residential House within a year before the date of transfer or constructed a residential […]
Exemption u/s 54F allowable despite start construction new house before sale date original asset
The dispute between the Assessee and the Revenue was with reference to actual payment for purchase of the flat and whether when the Assessee had purchased one more flat, though contagious, could the Assessee claim exemption under Section 54F of the Act.
Where assessee did not deposit sale consideration in the bank account maintained under the capital gains scheme before the due date of filing of return but otherwise purchased new house within two years, as stipulated in section 54F(1), then deduction under section 54F could not be denied to assessee.
Deduction U/s 54F was available to assessee in respect of full value of consideration received and not on the value taken by the Sub-Registrar for the purposes of stamp duty.
