Tribunal Rules for Assessee: Legitimate Source, Capital Gain Adjustments, Rental Income Reconsideration
The tribunal ruled in favor of the assessee, deleting the addition of Rs. 36 lac as unexplained bank deposits, as the redeposit of withdrawn cash indicated a legitimate source. Regarding the computation of capital gain, adjustments were made, with specific expenses allowed as cost of improvement. The tribunal upheld the full value of consideration based on the relevant Act. For the addition of Rs. 83,436 under 'Income from house property,' the tribunal found the rental income claim unsupported and remitted the matter for reconsideration by the AO. Overall, the tribunal partially allowed both appeals, providing guidance for further assessment.
Issues: 1. Addition of Rs. 36 lac 2. Computation of capital gain 3. Addition of Rs. 83,436 under 'Income from house property'
Issue 1: Addition of Rs. 36 lac The assessee deposited Rs. 40 lac in her savings bank account through four transactions, explaining it as withdrawn cash for a property purchase that did not materialize. The AO added Rs. 36 lac as unexplained bank deposits in March 2011, alleging lack of property details. The CIT(A) upheld the addition. However, the tribunal found the AO's reasoning flawed as the withdrawn cash was redeposited, indicating the source. The tribunal ruled in favor of the assessee, deleting the Rs. 36 lac addition.
Issue 2: Computation of capital gain The assessee sold a property in 2011, declaring long-term capital gain. The AO made adjustments, adding Rs. 1,49,060 due to discrepancies in cost calculations. The tribunal noted the disagreement on the cost of acquisition. The AO rejected Rs. 4,800 as part of the cost, which the tribunal upheld due to lack of evidence. However, the tribunal allowed Rs. 50,000 as cost of improvement for specific expenses incurred, differing from repairs and maintenance. The full value of consideration was upheld based on section 50C of the Act.
Issue 3: Addition of Rs. 83,436 under 'Income from house property' The AO added Rs. 83,436 to the declared income from house property due to unsubstantiated rental income claims and disputed annual property value. The tribunal found the rental income claim unsupported by evidence and disagreed with the annual property value calculation. The matter was remitted to the AO for reconsideration in accordance with the law.
In conclusion, the tribunal partially allowed both appeals, ruling in favor of the assessee on the addition of Rs. 36 lac and providing specific guidance on the computation of capital gain and 'Income from house property' issues for further assessment by the AO.
