The builder was to get 65% of the built up area along with undivided 65% interest on the land – Contended that since assessee had handed over the possession of the plot to the builder in pursuance of an agreement for transfer i.e. in part performance of a contract referred to in Section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, the transfer took place during the previous year itself in view of the provisions of Section 2(47) of the Act – Held that:- capital gain can be charged only on receipt of the sale consideration and not otherwise.

Whether on the fact and circumstances of the case Income Tax Appellate Tribunal was right in law in holding that the impugned property had been converted into stock in trade and thus CBDT Circular No. 791 was applicable, without rebutting the merits of the finding of facts recorded by the Assessing Officer in this respect".
