ITAT allowed the appeal: the Revenue's addition under s.50C was rejected and the third proviso's 10% tolerance margin applies retrospectively, disallowing the technical argument that FMV determined by the DVO (versus stamp duty value) justified an uplift; the assessee's challenge on this ground succeeds. Separately, the Tribunal held the assessee entitled to deduction under s.54EC because actual reinvestment and return filing under s.139(1) were established; the claim may be recognized beyond the figures in the original computation as not barred by statute. Net result: impugned s.50C addition set aside and s.54EC relief allowed in favour of the assessee.
