Coupled with this, CIT(A) has made it clear that the assessee had failed to prove repairs and maintenance expenditure alleged to have been paid to his relative contractor Shri Kota Ramakrishna, who could neither prove any repair activity to this effect nor genuineness of the claim as it was found that even this recipient's return had been filed belatedly to cover up the impugned issue. All these clinching findings on facts have gone un-rebutted from the assessee's side. - Decided against assessee. - I.T.A.

As such, the assessee has claimed exemption u/s. 54F of the Act on account of acquisition of a gifted property but without incurring any expenditure towards sale consideration of the property. Thus, the claim of the assessee is baseless and devoid of merits. 7.11 Alternatively, it may be noted that, in terms of the provisions of sub-sec. (4) of sec. 54F of the Act, the assessee is required to deposit the net consideration, which is not appropriated by the assessee towards purchase of new asset within one year before the date of transfer of the ori .....

Similarly, the assessee has also filed his return of income for the impugned AY 2011-12 on the same date i.e. 29.03.2013. Also, as seen from the returns of income filed by the contractor Sri Kota Ramakrishna, he has not disclosed income/receipts from any other contract work except amount received from the assessee said to be towards development/renovation of the gifted property. 7.15 As such, It appears that the assessee has devised a plan w .....

Thus, the grounds of appeal raised by the assessee on this issue are dismissed . 3. Learned authorised representative vehemently contended during the course of hearing that the assessee had re-invested his capital gain both in residential property by way of obtaining gift from his wife and repairs and maintenance incurred thereupon so as to be eligible for Section 54F deduction.
