2021 (2) TMI 902 - AT - Income TaxExemption u/s. 54F - assessee has sold the property situated at 70, Kannamangala Vilalge, Kasaba Hobli, Devanahalli Taluk, Bangalore along with legal heirs - HELD THAT:- In the case before us, the assessee's married widowed daughter is having no independent source of income and is fully dependent on the assessee, on the death of her husband on 20.12.2017. This fact was also clarified by filing a Joint Affidavit by Smt. Shailaja J and the assessee dt.11.12.2018. Being so, in our opinion, the statute should be construed liberally; since the provisions permit economic growth has to be interpreted liberally, restriction on it too has to be construed so as to advance the objective of the provisions not to frustrate it. We are of the opinion that the assessee has invested the sale consideration on transfer of Capital Asset in purchasing a new residential property in the name of Smt. Shailaja J who is being married widowed dependent daughter of the assessee and also legal heir of the assessee. Accordingly, we direct the AO to grant exemption u/s. 54F of the Act on the amount invested in purchase of residential house in his daughter’s name. This ground of appeal of assessee is allowed. Disallowance of selling expenses - HELD THAT:- The assessee has not furnished the full details of selling expenses before the lower authorities. Hence in the interest of justice, we remit this issue to the file of Assessing Officer for fresh adjudication and with a direction to the assessee to furnish the details before the Assessing Officer.
