CIT(A) has erred in not considering the deduction U/S 54B for the purchase of the land when full payment was made and the possession was taken. The deduction may please be allowed. 3. The Ld. CIT(A) and the Ld. AO erred in taxing the capital gain on the sale of agriculture land which is situated beyond the municipal area of Budnagar.

The assessee is also been unable to prove the source of Rs. 14,00,000/- paid by him in May, 2008 nor any justification has been proved to accept the impugned transaction of transferring of agriculture land after a lapse of 3 years even when the consideration was alleged to have been received by the buyer.
