Certification of deductions claimed under section 54, 54F, 54EC etc a) 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. In order to reduce such possibility of furnishing of inaccurate particulars […]
Moot point arising in the instant case, not addressed by the first appellate authority, i.e., as what constitutes a ‘purchase’ for the purposes of section 54F or, for that matter, the other para materia provisions.
Clause (4) of Sec. 54 clearly mention that the amount of net consideration which is not appropriated by the assessee towards the construction of the new asset before the date of furnishing the return of income u/s. 139, shall be deposited by him before furnishing such return (such deposit being made in any case not later than the due date applicable in the case of the assessee for furnishing the return of income under sub section (1) of Sec. 139).
he exemption u/s 54 was not allowed as what was transferred is a residential unit with 8ft x 8 ft dimensions and holding that such structure cannot be treated as building. However, exemption u/s 54F was allowed to the extent of amount spent within six months from the date of transfer of the asset.
Coming to a concomitant situation that if booking of flats does not tantamount to ownership of the house then how come the assessee claim that by booking a flat it has acquired ‘new house’ and becomes entitle for this exemption.
Language of the Section 54F and 54B is very clear that it relates to unmarried daughters. Here the undisputed fact is that the property is purchased in the name of married daughters. When the Legislature thought it fit to specify the words ‘unmarried daughters’, the Court cannot substitute the words.
Issue for consideration is in relation to allowing deduction under sec. 54 of the Act in respect of the whole of the amount invested by the assessee in the purchase of residential house. The assessee purchased residential property at C-602, The Residency, Ardee City, Gurgaon in joint name with his wife Smt. Ritu Verma and claimed deduction under sec. 54 of the Act in respect of amount of Rs. 80,00,000/- invested in residential property.
The respondents have not disputed this before us. It is true that the assessee had not deposited the long term capital gain in the capital gain account, and he had deposited the said amount in his savings account with Vijaya Bank.
The sole issue before us is whether the building in question constructed by the assessee on which exemption u/s 54F of the Act has been claimed is a residential building as claimed by the assessee or a building constructed for commercial use.
Authorised Representative submitted that as per section 54F(1), the only condition required to be satisfied for the assessee to avail the exemption thereunder was that the assessee should within a period of one year before or two years after the date of transfer
