No. 1424/HYD/2015 - - - Dated:- 7-4-2016 - SMT. P. MADHAVI DEVI, JUDICIAL MEMBER AND SHRI B. RAMAKOTAIAH, ACCOUNTANT MEMBER For The For Assessee : Shri Amrit Kumar Kota, AR For The Revenue : Shri Jagadish Babu, CIT-DR ORDER PER B. RAMAKOTAIAH, A.M. : This is an appeal by assessee against the order of the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-4, Hyderabad dated 13-10-2015. Assessee has raised the following ground, which is material for consideration: a. The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-Iv erred in confirming the Sale consideration received as Income from Other Sources instead of Income from Long Term Capital Gains . 2. Briefly stated, assessee is an individual and has offered capital gains claiming deduction u/s. 54EC 54F of the Income Tax Act [Act]. The assessment u/s. 143(3) was completed on 29-12-2011 by accepting the returned income of ₹ 2,57,2 ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... The contention that the assessee has interest/title in the said property by virtue of sale of agreement dated 4.7.1994 is not legally tenable as the property was subsequently registered in favour of others and the agreement has ceased to exist. 4. Though, it is an undisputed fact on record that the assessee received ₹ 40 Lakhs as per his own admission, is entitled to a constructed area of worth of ₹ 60 lakhs, this receipt of money and constructed areas does not pre-suppose that assessee was having interest/title over the property along with his brothers. There may be umpteen reasons for payment of money and for giving constructed area to assessee by the developer. But the fact remains that the assessee received ₹ 1 crore from the developer though he is not owner of the property. In the light of these facts and documentary evidence, the amount receivable by the assessee is not assessable as capital gain and no deduction u/s. 54F 54EC are not allowable. Under the facts and circumstances of the case, the amount of ₹ 1 Crore received by the assessee has to be assessed as Income from Other Sources . This order of the Ld. CIT was not contested by ass .....

The appellant's share is only 1/4th of the total transaction of ₹ 4.0 crores ie., ₹ 1 crore only (Rs. 40,00,000 by cash + ₹ 60,00,000 in constructed area 6,050 sq. feet).
