Capital Gain - computation of cost of acquisition - bonus...

Capital Gain - computation of cost of acquisition - bonus debentures or not - re-investment of dividend amount - An amount was indeed received on behalf of the assessee and this amount has been reinvested in the debentures. The debentures were not ‘bonus’ debentures and the nomenclature given by the AO is thus incorrect. The taxes were duly paid on the deemed dividend in question, and it did constitute income of the assessee, even though received by a merchant banker on behalf of the assesse. - AO erred in declines the claim of the assessee with respect to cost of acquisition in respect of these debentures. - AT
