The AO applied provisions of section 50C of the I.T. Act and made an addition of Rs. 9,90,000/- on this issue. In addition, the AO formed that the assessee had also sold factory building on the said land which was not appearing in the registered sale deed. Since, the assessee had transferred land and building together, the AO held that short term capital gain accrued to the assessee on account of transfer of the building was Rs. 10 lakhs which was also added to the income of the assessee. 6.

Hence, to tax the same in her hands as LTCG is harsh ignoring the facts and genuinity of the case. The sale was in fact effected between Sh. Umed Singh (original owner and seller of the plot) and Sh. Vikas Shukla (Buyer). Further, the appellant in the relevant AY had routed an entry through the Capital Account of Rs. 2,50,000/- for the sale of land and building.

It may also be noted here that the assessee at the appellate stage made a request for admission of additional evidences which Ld. CIT(A) has allowed and admitted the additional evidences. 9. Ld.

On the other hand, Ld. DR relied upon the orders of the authorities below and submitted that assessee has shown the amount in question in her capital amount which was received through registered sale deed. Therefore, both the additions are justified. 12. We have considered the rival submissions. The assessee filed copy of the 'Ikrar Nama' dated 03.11.1995 which is executed by Shri Umed Singh owner of the property in question in favour of Shri Vikas Shukla for a sum of Rs. 2,50,000/-.
