2022 (11) TMI 1079 - AT - Income TaxLong term capital gain - sale of land - Legal owner of asset/property - claim of proportionate share of 2/3rd - assessee along with his grandmother has executed power of attorney(POA) in favour of one Shri S. Ramaswamy, the agent in respect of the property - proportionate deduction on account of expenses incurred for removal of encroachment, eviction, illegal squatters etc. - HELD THAT:- PoA and sale deed both are executed on the same day by assessee as well as the GPA Shri S. Ramaswamy on 19.02.2015. It means the PoA holder has no legal right or interest in the property and entire consideration belongs to assessee or other co-owner. Even otherwise, Shri S. Ramaswamy has not accounted for this consideration in his return of income or no capital gain is declared either short term or long term by Shri S. Ramaswamy, the PoA holder in his return of income. CIT(A) and the AO has rightly concluded that receipt of 93% of sale consideration i.e., 6,93,50,000/-i.e., sale of land without any encumbrance on the date when GPA was executed including GPA of Rs.7,43,50,000/- clearly proves that the assessee has no intention of declaring the capital gain in his return of income. Hence, we are of the view that the authorities below have rightly concluded that the entire capital gain is to be assessed in the hands of the assessee to the extent of his share and hence, we confirm the order of the lower authorities and dismiss this issue of assessee’s appeal. Disallowance of eviction expenses - assessee now before us made submission that the entire details are available with him as regards to eviction payments and eviction expenses which the assessee could not produce before the CIT(A) and hence, he requested that to that extent, the matter can be restored back to the file of the AO because the same were partly produced before the AO just before the completion of assessment - HELD THAT:- After hearing both the sides on this issue, now we are of the view that the assessee is entitled for this claim but assessee has to prove this claim and file evidence. Hence, we restore this issue back to the file of the AO for fresh adjudication after verifying the evidences. This issue of assessee’s appeal is set aside and allowed for statistical purposes.
