<h1>Supreme Court: Entire Gifted Property Value Taxable if Donor Retains Benefit, Alters Estate Duty Act Section 10.</h1> The circular from the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) addresses the interpretation of Section 10 of the Estate Duty Act following a Supreme Court ruling. The Court clarified that when a donor retains possession or benefit of a gifted property, the entire property's value, not just the right to possession and enjoyment, should be included in the estate duty assessment. This ruling modifies previous instructions, emphasizing that if a donor leases back a gifted property, the entire property's value is subject to estate duty. Pending assessments should align with this interpretation, and completed assessments may be revisited under Section 59(b) where applicable.
