of <h1>High Court affirms FMV computation for capital gains, allows set off of losses</h1> <h3>The Commissioner of Income-tax-I Coimbatore Versus M/s. The Nanco Rubber & Plastics Limited.</h3> The Commissioner of Income-tax-I Coimbatore Versus M/s. The Nanco Rubber & Plastics Limited. - TMI Issues:1. Determination of fair market value for computation of capital gains.2. Set off of loss against income from capital gains.Analysis:Issue 1: Determination of fair market value for computation of capital gainsThe appellant claimed the fair market value (FMV) of lands acquired by the Income Tax Department at a significantly higher value compared to the Assessing Officer's determination. The Assessing Officer relied on guideline values from the District Registrar, which the appellant contested as not comparable to the property in question. The appellant provided evidence of sale instances to support their valuation, emphasizing the location and size of the property on the main road. The CIT (Appeals) considered the evidence presented and determined the FMV at a value higher than the Assessing Officer's but lower than the appellant's claim. The High Court upheld the CIT (Appeals) decision, considering factors such as property area, location, and comparable sale instances. The Court concluded that the findings were based on relevant and cogent materials, dismissing the Revenue's appeal.Issue 2: Set off of loss against income from capital gainsThe Tribunal affirmed the position that if a company's main income source is from capital gains, the exemption under the explanation to Section 73 applies, allowing set off of losses from other business activities against capital gains. In this case, the income from capital gains exceeded the loss from share transactions, making capital gains the primary income source. The Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to rework the capital gains based on the revised FMV determination. The High Court found no substantial question of law in the Revenue's appeal, upholding the Tribunal's decision on the set off of losses against income from capital gains.Overall, the High Court dismissed the Revenue's appeal, affirming the decisions of the lower authorities regarding the determination of fair market value and the set off of losses against income from capital gains.
