..... ith other co-owners to M/s. City Corporation Ltd. The assessee computed capital gain by taking sale price as the full value of consideration and the fair market value of the property as on 01-04-1981 at Rs. 163.50/- per sq. meter as the unindexed cost of acquisition. The Assessing Officer (AO) tweaked both the components in the computation of capital gain. He observed that the stamp value of the land in question was more than the amount of actual sale consideration and also the fair market value as on 1.4.1981 was less. The assessee was called upon to explain as to why the stamp value of the transferred land be not considered against the actual value declared in terms of section 50C of the Act.

CIT(A) held that ratio in the case of Puja Prints (supra) would be applicable only where the assessee furnishes a report of some Registered valuer, which was not extantly done.

Having heard both the sides and gone through the relevant material on record, it is seen that amendment to section 55A in the above terms has been carried out and made effective from 01-07-2012. The assessment year under consideration is 2004-05 and the AO made reference to the DVO for determining the fair market value before completion of assessment in December, 2011. Thus, it is apparent that, by no standard, the amended provision is attracted to the instant case. Goi .....
