CIT(A) has confirmed the action of the A.O., against which the assessee is in further appeal before the ITAT. 4. We have considered the rival contentions and carefully gone through the orders of the authorities below. We had also gone through the order of the Tribunal dated 30/10/2015 in the first round. The ITAT, Jaipur has given clear findings in para-6 of it's order dated 30/10/2015 that assessee purchased the commercial plot from the JDA, Jaipur and on which construction was made for which an agreement was also made with M/S Kalyani Engineering, Jhotwara, Jaipur of Rs. 10.50 Lacs and receipt of p .....

Agreement was found to be genuine by the AO with the payment of Rs. 10.50 Lacs including cash payment of Rs. 6.50 lacs, however, AO has wrongly mentioned in para-8.6 that source of payment was not supported by evidences. Further, AO admitted that construction of two rooms were made on the plot but those were appearing godowns and not for residential purposes as per the spot enquiry report and construction was made before taking the possessio .....

..... tc. and house was constructed within stipulated time. Thus, all the conditions of claiming deduction under Sec. 54F of the Act were fulfilled by the assessee and all relevant details/evidences submitted before the AO during the proceedings which were examined by him and nothing was remained on the part of the assessee to prove her claim as per provisions of sec. 54F of the Act.

..... in interpreting the actual spirit of section 50C of the Act for the purpose of working out deduction under section 54F of the Act as Sec 50C is deeming provision and only applicable to sec. 48 not to the sec. 54F & others." 12. We have gone through the orders of the authorities below and found that the AO has worked out the capital gain by taking the value as per stamp authority against actual sale value shown in the sale deed by applying the sec. 50C of the Act.
