Therefore, when one considers the gain or exclusion from the set off of the gain it should be related to the capital assets. When the property was not shown as capital assets but was shown as stock in trade, naturally the view taken by the Tribunal cannot be said to be erroneous.

In response to this, the assessee s AR vide his letter dated 21.12.2011 stated that the income from house property offered is in respect of stock- in-trade. Hence, the assessee is entitled to deduction U/s.54F. 5.6. The Revenue s position is that exemption U/s.54F is not to be given in case of applicability of any of the conditions contained in proviso (a) or (b) of section 54F. The assessee s own declaration in his Return of Income is an admission of fact that he owned these residential houses at the time of sale of the original asset.

Therefore, when one considers the gain or exclusion from the set off of the gain it should be related to the capital assets. When the property was not shown as capital assets but was shown as stock in trade, naturally the view taken by the Tribunal cannot be said to be erroneous. 11. Under the circumstances, we do not find any substantial questions of law would arise for consideration as sought to be canvassed. The appeal ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
