2023 (1) TMI 1009 - ITAT SURATCapital gain computation - assessee is seeking reduction of sale consideration by amount paid to Rajesh K Mehta as occupying the said land and to remove the encumbrances three acres of land was given to him to remove all his encumbrances - HELD THAT:- On careful perusal of bank statement of Rajesh K Mehta, find cheque drawn on Dena Bank was never encashed or realised either from bank account of Rajesh K Mehta or in the account of assessee. Thus, consideration shown in the sale deed was never passed/received by assessee. Shri Rajesh K Mehta has confirmed his fact in his affidavit. Thus, the said amount was not received by the assessee. It is settled position under law that income which has earned or accrued can only be taxed. In my considered view, once it is shown and proved on record that Rs. 9.00 lacs is not received by the assessee, so such income cannot be considered for taxation in the hands of assessee. So the assessee get relief to that extent. Amount as allegedly incurred by assessee for purchasing of land in the name of Nani Navla Patel as per the direction of Collector, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, we are fully convinced with the order of ld. CIT(A) that there is no condition precedent in the sale deed dated 12/08/2011. Moreover, such condition was on the seller of land to maintain minimum standard of area of land to safeguard their interest. Therefore, no justification for allowing such expenses while calculation capital gain. Accordingly, we uphold the order of ld. CIT(A) qua this issue. In the result, grounds of appeal raised by assessee is partly allowed.
