Political contribution deductions require assessee-specific proof before cash-back allegations can justify disallowance or unexplained-money additions...
The ITAT allowed the assessee's claim under Section 54F, affirming that "a residential house" should be interpreted liberally. The tribunal held that purchasing multiple residential flats/units in the same building can qualify for capital gains tax exemption. The decision follows precedential interpretations that "a" does not strictly mean singular, and beneficial provisions should be construed expansively. The assessee's claim was substantiated through relevant documentation, and the tribunal rejected technical objections raised by the revenue department, ultimately granting exemption for the capital gains.
