The assessee had filed her ITR declaring total income of Rs. 56,83,560/- and the case of the assessee was selected under CASS. The AO had called for relevant information by issuing certified notices, but, there were no response and, accordingly, on best judgement the AO examined the data available on ITBA system/Form 26AS and SFT submissions and examining the capital gain arising out of sale of two properties additions were made in the draft assessment order.

That the Ld. AO/DRP has erred in not considering the documents filed by the assessee during the course of proceedings and making the addition in arbitrary manner, which is highly unjustified, uncalled for and bad in law. 9.

AO in the final assessment order require to be reversed with the direction that the indexed cost of rear basement should be taken, on the basis of the valuation report as provided by the assessee, as per law. 6. Furthermore, the assessee has sold the second floor of D4/5, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi, in which she had 50% of the share by way of sale deed dated 07.12.2018 for a sale consideration coming to her share at Rs. 6,87,50,000/-.

AO has failed to take note of the directions of the DRP in this regard and, accordingly, we direct the AO to give benefit of the stamp duty for arriving at the cost of acquisition in regard to second floor. 8. As a consequence of the aforesaid discussion, the grounds No.4-7 are cumulatively decided in favour of the assessee. The appeal of assesse ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
