Deduction under section 54F was in respect of capital gain arising in the hands of wife of assessee, should have been claimed in the return of income filed by the wife of assessee, therefore, claim of assessee under section 54F was liable to be rejected.
Where assessee sold certain property and utilized a part of the consideration towards purchase of new house, however, failed to deposit unutilized consideration in specified accounts before due date under section 139(1), AO was justified in restricting deduction under section 54F proportionately.
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 […]
Merely because the new house is constructed on a plot of land owned by the mother of the assessee will not disentitle the assesee for claim of deduction u/s 54F of the Income Tax Act.
Mahesh Malneedi Vs ITO (ITAT Hyderabad) As far as the assessee is concerned, he was aware of the bank loan and also the default committed by the vendor in repaying the loan. Thus, the property was not without an encumbrance as on the date of filing of the return and there was no certainty of […]
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.
Where investment in a new residential house was made within three years from date of transfer of assets, exemption Under section 54F could not be denied on the ground that unutilized amount was not deposited in Capital Gains Account Scheme before due date prescribed under section 139(1).
Booking of flat in an apartment under construction must also be viewed as a method of constructing residential tenements. Commencement of construction is not relevant for the purpose of sec. 54 and it is only the completion of construction.
