Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
Surrendered income offered during a survey was accepted as business income at normal rates, and the Tribunal held that the enhanced tax rate under section 115BBE could not be applied for AY 2017-18. Relying on later High Court authority, it treated the higher rate as prospective from 01.04.2017, relevant from AY 2018-19 onwards, and therefore inapplicable to the year in issue. The surrendered sum was directed to be taxed only at normal rates, not at the enhanced rate under section 115BBE.
