of <h1>Tribunal affirms AO's decision on income assessment, capital gains calculation, and penalty proceedings.</h1> <h3>Legatum Ventures Limited Versus Asstt. Commissioner of Income Tax International Taxation Circle–3 (1) (2), Mumbai</h3> Legatum Ventures Limited Versus Asstt. Commissioner of Income Tax International Taxation Circle–3 (1) (2), Mumbai - TMI Issues Involved:1. Assessment of total income.2. Computation of capital gains.3. Initiation of penalty proceedings under section 270A.Summary:Issue 1: Assessment of Total IncomeThe assessee challenged the assessment of total income at INR 171,359,838 against 'Nil' reported in the return for AY 2018-19. The Tribunal upheld the Assessing Officer's (AO) decision, which was based on the directions of the Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP), rejecting the assessee's computation and affirming the assessed total income.Issue 2: Computation of Capital GainsThe core grievance was the computation of capital gains by applying section 112(1)(c)(iii) instead of the first proviso to section 48. The assessee, a UAE-incorporated company, reported a long-term capital loss of INR 36,387,392 from the sale of unlisted shares of an Indian company, computed under the first proviso to section 48. The AO, however, computed the gains under section 112(1)(c)(iii), resulting in long-term capital gains of INR 17,13,59,838, taxable at 10%. The Tribunal held that section 112(1)(c)(iii) is a special provision for non-residents and must be applied, excluding the first and second provisos to section 48, thereby affirming the AO's computation.Issue 3: Initiation of Penalty ProceedingsThe assessee also contested the initiation of penalty proceedings under section 270A. However, the Tribunal did not specifically address this issue in detail, as the primary contention regarding the computation of capital gains was resolved in favor of the Revenue.Conclusion:The Tribunal dismissed the appeal, upholding the AO's computation of long-term capital gains under section 112(1)(c)(iii) and the assessed total income, thereby rejecting the assessee's grounds and confirming the initiation of penalty proceedings.
