....ating the fact that as can be seen on the date of JDA, the portion of the constructed apartments that are to be assigned to the assessee has already been decided and crystallized and considering this scenario, it is only logical that the value of these apartments be considered as State Consideration. 2. Based on the facts and circumstances, ld.CIT(A) ought to have appreciated the fact that the assesee should only treat the cost of construction as the sale consideration and not the market value of the asset because the assessee is not selling the apartments and is only receiving them. Hence, the true value of the asset is the cost of construction which is the actual money spent in bringing the asset to life. 3. The assessee craves leav....

Learned ld.CIT(A) passed order on the mentioned below reasons which are as under; "5.3 I have considered the rival contentions carefully. In the case law relied on by the AO i.e. CIT vs. Dr. T. K.

JDA: is a kind of contract agreement wherein, the appellant would get his share of constructed property after completion of the project and the uncertainty of developer not completing the project or not honoring his commitment are always there till the project is completed. The possibility of termination of contract itself for any reason cannot be ruled out. That being the case, estimating the value of property even before it is received by the appellant, is not realistic. Hon'ble Karnataka High Court only held that there is a transfer on the date of JDA. If transfer is deemed, the....

....yer or the value of right to receive that area in between and as and when either this right to receive the property or the property when received is sold, the appellant would be gaining further income which needs to be taxed in the respective years. Hence, I find that as on the date of entering of JDA even on deemed status of transfer the capital gains can only be worked out on the deemed market value of the property as per municipal records which has some basis as admitted by the appellant. Hence, even if the appellant's second revised return is ignored by the AO the calculation has to be based on this logic.

On the other hand, learned AR relied on the orders of CIT(A) and submitted that the learned CIT(A) was agreed on the submissions of the assessee that for the deemed transfer of JDA the logical deemed consideration has to be guidance value of property and even otherwise it was observed by the CIT(A). Even on the date of transfer, the capital gains can only be worked out on the deemed market value of the property as per munici....
