As it was not a case of sale of any undertaking, therefore, he submitted that the Ld. CIT(A) was not justified in directing the Assessing Officer to treat the capital asset as long term capital gain. He submitted that as the transfer involved transfer of depreciable asset on which depreciation was claimed by the assessee regularly, therefore, the profit thereon was rightly treated by Assessing Officer as short term capital gain. He placed reliance on the decision of Hon'ble ITAT, Calcutta Bench in the case of ACIT Vs. Sekhar Gupta (2001) 79 ITD 192 (Cal.), decision of ITAT, Delhi Bench in the case of Raj Woolen Industries Vs. ACIT (2012) 20 taxmann.com 267 (Delhi), decision of the Hon'ble Madr .....

We have relied upon the Hon'ble Madras High Court judgement in the case of ACIT vs Raka Food Products (205) 277 ITR 261 [Mad]. Without prejudice, we would like to submit that the cost of factory land was Rs 3,20,000/- purchased in the F.Y. 1997 on which no depreciation was claimed and accordingly lawful indexation shall be allowed to workout the final capital gain in the case and that indexed cost of land shall be deducted while arriving at the short term capital gain u/s 50 on the sale value .....

Though the immovables had to be registered and for that purpose the guideline valuation had been adopted by the Registrar, it is not a case of transfer of series of assets individually, but a transler of the entire business undertaking as a whole. In such an event, it is not possible to determine at what consideration individual assets movable or immovable were transferred. The same is true of depreciable and non-depreciable assets also." 12.

In that case, it was found that the assessee had sold his bakery including the land, building and machinery and therefore, it was found that the assessee sold an undertaking whereas in the instant case, only factory land, factory building alongwith borewell was sold and it is not a case where an entire business undertaking as such was sold by the assessee. The above facts are also established from the submissions made by the assessee before the Assessing Officer as extracted hereinabove.
