Thus, making the same income under double taxation. The action of Ld. CIT(A) is totally wrong on the facts of the case." 3. Brief facts as culled out from the records are that the assessee is an individual. She filed her return of income on 31.07.2014 showing total income of Rs. 2,56,610/-, after claiming exemption u/s 10(38) of the Act for Long Term Capital Gain from sale of share of M/s Kailash Auto Finance Ltd. at Rs. 94,93,723/-.

Similarly in the case of Assessee, the undisclosed income declared under IDS 2016 was related to Assessment Year 2013- 14 however the notice issued pertains to Assessment Year 2014-15, therefore section 196 of IDS 2016 is not applicable on the Assessee. In addition to above, we further submit that the Assessee disclosed in Form 1 of description column that the undisclosed money was applied for earning income from long term capital gain and the said declaration by the Assessee was accepted by Principal Commissioner/Commissioner in Form 4 under IDS 2016 as on 15/02/2018.

..... set, immovable asset, gold, jewellery or cash. Here, the nature of income need not be confused with the source of income. There is no need to indicate the source of income at all. In the column meant for nature of undisclosed income one has to write the nomenclature such as 'immovable property', 'moveable property', 'gold', 'jewellery' or 'cash' etc. This will enable the taxpayer to establish the link between the income declared under the scheme and the claim, if any, made in respect of such undisclosed income in the return of income filed subsequently or during any assessment proceedings. 13. In circular No.29 of 2016 dated 18 day of Agust 2016 following question No.2 and it s answer reads as follows: Question No.2: Whether the amount d .....

We, thus, set aside the orders of the both lower authorities delete the addition for Rs. 94,93,723/- and allow the sole ground raised by the assessee. 17. In the result, the appeal of the assessee is allowed. Order was pronounced in the open court on 2 .....
