The learned DR has further submitted that the case laws relied on by the CIT(A) to decide the issue in favour of the assessee, are not applicable. Rather, the following decisions, which are in favour of the department, apply to the present case : i) Escorts ltd v. CIT (2002) 257 ITR 468 (Del) ii) CIT v.

The learned counsel for the assessee has, therefore, requested that the order of the learned CIT(A) being a valid one, it needs to be maintained while dismissing the appeal. 5. Section 48 of the Act, which deals with the mode of computation of the income from capital gains, reads as under: Mode of computation. 48. The income chargeable under the head Capital gains shall be computed, by deducting from the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset the following amounts, namely :-- (i) expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with such transfer; (ii) the cost of acquisition .....

Thus, as per this section, the income chargeable under the head capital gain shall be computed, by deducting from the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset, expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with such transfer, the cost of acquisition of the asset and the cost of any improvement to it. 7.

The order of refund was passed as and when the evidence was furnished by the assessee and that to that extent , there was no delay in making a refund of the amount which the assessee was entitled to. The AO could not be blamed for completing the assessment in the absence of any evidence furnished by the assessee. So, the refund became payable on 29.8.1977, i.e., the date of passing of the order of assessment. Therefore, the assessee had rightly been held to be not entitled to interest on the refund by the Tribunal. 9. A perusal of t .....

The Hon'ble High Court held that the Tribunal was wrong in presuming that the bank got reimbursement from the assessee of the bill amount along with the interest which the bank paid to the foreign exporter. 12. Clearly, the said ratio was laid down by Hon'ble Madras High Court considering the facts of the case before them. These facts, we find are again at variance with the facts in the present case. Here, it is not at all the case of the department that the transfer of the capital asset in question would have taken place or could have taken place if the amount of Rs. 6,16,250/- had not been paid by the assessee.
