Gift Tax Act, 1958 - taxable gift ... ... ... ... ..... at even if the assessee can be said to hold some interest in the property, her decision not to exercise her option to share on partition was a perfectly bona fide one and, therefore, the question of levying tax under section 4(c) does not arise in the instant case. Thus, as regards the alternative case, under section 4(c), the Tribunal has found as a matter of fact that the agreement not to claim share was a perfectly bona fide transaction. We, therefore, answer the question referred to us as follows There was no taxable gift in the instant case under section 2(xii), nor was there any transfer of property within the meaning of section 2(xxiv) nor are the provisions of section 4(c) attracted in respect of the assessee s agreement not to claim a share on the partial partition of 1,320 shares in question. We, therefore, answer the question in the negative and in favour of the assessee and against the revenue. The Commissioner will pay the costs of this reference to the assessee.
